I don't even use wood glue on a nut. I run the underside of it along an Elmer's glue stick. Just enough to hold the nut in place. I put a capo on it while it dries.
How do you size the pins? I traded my Epiphone (which looked like yours) on OrangeWood Oliver C, the OrangeWood doesn't hurt my thumb like the Epiphone. I'm an old guy with a bad thumb. My thumb is much happier with the trade. I do plan to go to Rosewood or Bone Pins soon but I like the sound and it's got plastic pins.
I understand the bridge , but the nut has always eluded me, it has a effect only on chords played at the top of the neck and possibly when play leadsinglenotes
Thanks for your comments. I think bone nut helps transfer the string vibration. I just know that for example a metal or brass nut sounds more high pitch and a bone nut sounds mellow to me and that was the tone I was going for with a blues box. It’s a personal choice but hard to prove.

I put bone pins on a guitar to make it sound brighter, wood pins for a mellow sound of an otherwise bright guitar,depending on the frequencies that need supporting. I have zero qualifications but tremendous opinions.
You can use an exacto knife to score the finish where it meets the nut…prevents cracking

could you provide a link to where you purchased the parts ? Thanks -- enjoyed the video. Heard these are great guitars if you get rid of the plastic.

Try fossilized tusk.

I added a link in the description to a TH-cam on how to measure the bridge pins
@@DanaGrant I missed that, saw the pins on your Amazon link. The OrangeWood has very thin pins, I have reamed the hole larger before on a guitar.
I just added it for you.@@flouisbailey

Where did you get the saddle, nut, and pin package from?

Dana put it in the description.
A hot pin reveals plastic, but you can smell it if its bone, smells like burned hair.
bone bridge pins
You want the real deal on tone, follow Jim Lill
need bone pins.
Believe it or not. I spoke to a custom Guitar builder who builds guitars starting at $40,000. He said wood pins are the best to conduct sound.

Thanks I was going for that mellow blues sound.@@jameslifetimelearner
Elmer's glue?
No, It's wood glue in a Elmer's bottle. Just a smaller bottle. Easer to work with. Thanks
