Nice to see you guys working on entry level guitars as well. Not everyone can afford a branded guitar like Fender or Gibson so this tells them that their inexpensive Squier can also do with benefits of being upgraded by a trained Luthier.
Yes. And, for those players who can't afford to have a trained luthier do the work, these stewartmcdonald videos and other luthier videos can help anyone do upgrades and maintenance.
Have a 97 squier, just noticed after owning it for 14 years, the nut needs replacement. This video was informative. I really liked the trick of putting sandpaper between the 11th and 12th fret and sanding the nut that way so you keep the radius.
The Tusq nuts are great, but I would recommend using a more precise caliper to measure before you order. There are tons of different sizes available and alot of them vary by fractions of a mm. Also, great tip to use the radius of the fretboard to shape the nut when you don't have a flat slot. 👍🏻
@StewMac One thing that I like to point out, is a great number of "off brands" of inexpensive electric as well as acoustic guitars made in China and a few other places actually super glue the string nuts in. And if a person is not experienced in this sort of work, the nut "may" come up a little bit, then the glue that attached to the nut route can rip away the wood and make MANY chips in the fret board.... just wanted to add that as precaution as it not reference that strongly in your video. Happy Holidays to all! - MrTom
Timing on this video was perfect guys. As it happens, I own an American Strat that I’ve been wanting to replace the nut on with a Tusq nut and was just starting to look for videos on how to do it. Your channel was the first place I looked. New sub!
Those TUSQ nuts are great, I'm glad they do left-handed ones as well - One thing didn't get mentioned here I was taught is that automotive feeler gauges are good for precisely measuring the action at the first fret - you can pick em up for next to nothing at any auto shop and they do metric or imperial ones. I prefer working in mm to fractions of inches.
THANK YOU!! I bought an Alvarez for $20. I bought strings to replace the old ones and the bone nut came off!!! I've been a drummer for many years and I'm learning guitar now. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!
HOLY SMOKES! That's amazing! I never thought to use the fretboard in order to get the nut-radius to match! This I'm shocked this is the first time I've heard of this technique. (03:09 -> Using sandpaper taped to the fretboard to sand bottom of nut to match and fit fretboard radius)
@@Catsncorn I'm pretty sure that's exactly what it was. I was a big emo fan as a teenager. The Chord work is nothing to write home about but Emo music gets it's money's worth in the riffs. I suspect that's because it grew out of punk. Just natural music evolution man. I dig it.
Thank you for the clear and detailed explanation! I learned a lot from this vide. You guys are far and above the many other clowns that you find now days in front of a phone posting videos on TH-cam. Thank you!
Greetings from Bristol, UK - I love your videos. Between yours and Dave's, up in Canada, I'm covered! I replaced the nut on my Ibanez ArtCore the other day and it all went so well, thanks in part to your advice. It's a different guitar now - gone from OK to Great ! So cool. Thanks, guys 🙂
really appreciate this video, im going to be repairing an old 70s guitar i found in my grandparents attic. it has no nut or bridge saddle, and the neck is a little loose but otherwise just fine. looking forward to getting it in playing shape :)
Old post, but still. Stewmac isn't for the one off job. Its more geared toward actual luthiers and hobbyists that do this sort of thing more than once a lifetime. You're better off paying someone to do it if you're not interested in learning the trade.
My plastic squire nuts original and from '94, the strings have cut down into the nut almost to the fretboard. Needless to say, i really needed to watch this video for a long time
I have a strange issue. My strings are really buzzy between the nut and tuners. Why the hell is the upper bridge or upper string guide, or whatever descriptive name you can come up with... why is it called a nut? So weird! Wow, using the fretboard between frets to sand the nut... that's brilliant! Some people are just very mechanically inclined and able to think of the easiest way to do something. That's a gift from God. It's nothing you can teach someone. Excellent work! Thank you for taking the time to create, edit and post your videos!
Dear StewMac. Thank you for doing this instructional video, about replacing a nut on your guitar, it's much appreciated! One thing that I feel is missing in this video, would be some info about how the guitar should be adjusted... I've read in some of your online "how-to" guides, about nut making, that the neck should be adjusted straight... Does that only count when making a bone nut from scratch, or?? Also, in order to get the 1st fret action right, wouldn't it be best to follow these three set-up steps, before starting to deepen the string slots: 1. Adjust the neck for the desired relief. 2. Set the action at the bridge, and match the radius with the saddles. 3. THEN start to deepen the slots, and get the 1st fret action correct? Thanks again. I hope to hear from you, that would indeed be great. All the best.
GuitarNTabs I know this is a pretty late reply, but in my experience bridge height has little effect on first fret action. Definitely make sure the radius is correct but if the nut is cut too shallow, you can’t fix that at the bridge.
Looks like an A string in comparison to the thicker E string. Probably normal gauge, like 9s or 10s, so there ya go. If anything, what you want is about a millimeter of clearance when you press down the 3rd fret.
Hello Dan &Paul, I’m interested in making a cheap guitar into a slide only guitar. I hope maybe to see a future video on making adjustments to set up a guitar for slide.
I was so motivated by this video that i took my metal saw an mostly pulverised the old nut, no chance of getting it out in one pice that nut was glued to hell. Whyle sawing i slipped of once to the fretbosrd and once towars the headstock. But hey it isnt the first scratch on that les paul so i just added some chracter xD.
1:11 anyone else notice the five great lakes behind on the bottom of the window frame. Above the tool holder / empty shelf. Is that an Easter Egg find that now qualifies me to receive copious amounts of stewmac tools and paraphernalia at no cost?
Why do the US Fenders have a curved slot for the nut? I can't think it adds any tone (the bearing surface is essentially the same) and it's more difficult to manufacture than a flat bottomed slot.
I'm a fan of brass nuts and will be doing an adjustable brass nut on my next build, i've always handed them off to luthiers if they were blanks but I'm planning on doing this one myself. Is there anything different I will need to do to make this work? My current project is taking and making it nearly as good as a base level MIA strat aside from balance. The project right now is Wenge neck, brass nut and saddles, SS frets, either S1 or Dimarzio Invader/Area pickups, dimarzio electronics with dual push pull and custom wiring, locking tuners. By the time this project is done the only thing that will be stock will be the wood from the body with a new coat of paint and electrical isolation on it.
Hi. Thank yoy very much for your very helpful video. I have a question. My new Squier Tele 40th anniversary have a problem that the high E string sound dull when play open, i changed the higher nut but still the same. Please advise. Thank you. Troy.
A person can play a Squier Bullet for a long time with a good setup and new nut. Later they can replace the tuners with a set of Fender for about $40, then the pickups with a set of Tex-Mex and new pots. There's nothing wrong with the wood. A few investments over time and they can have a good playing and sounding guitar. I bought a new Squier Infinity and it had full size Alpha pots. It's funny to play a Squier and it sounds and plays as well as your friends Mex Fender. They don't have to know you made any changes. LOL
After watching this vid, i replaced my tele plastic nut with real bone. I dabbed baby oil on the slot (quite generousl) to help the new nut slide in easier. Now i think my guitar doesnt sustain as much as before, even with the plastic nut.
i have a old telecaster neck with a 1.65 (42mm) nut width. its pretty standard but all the nuts on the site are wider than that measurement. i would like to get a slotted bone nut to save me time but they all measure to wide so that the stings would be slipping off the fretboard. i find it hard to believe that stewmac doesn't offer a slotted bone nut to fit a vintage fender. what are my options other than a nut blank?
Hello. I have removed the nut from my guitar, but there is a lot of glue residue still on the guitar. How can I effectively remove this glue without damaging the guitar?
The tab on the nut is because the nut slot is flat. You remove the tab when the slot is curved. The tabbed but essentially works for both types of slots. You can also get TUSQ nuts with flat bottoms though. At least for Fender/Charvel USA/Mex, the slots are curved. Squier can be flat. If you are worried about that little bit of material on the bottom of the nut, there are other more important things to improve on a Squier than that little bit of material... Of course if you're ordering, just go with the flat one. But when in doubt or you know the slot is curved, get the curved with the tab.
Would be nice if they had noted the string height about the 1st fret. Would like to know personally the spec for a USA Strat and Les Paul Custom nut height above the 1st fret and for all strings.
@ 1:06 it shows a tab on the bottom of the nut, which would prevent the entire bottom of the saddle from having contact with the guitar. What's up with that? I've never seen that before.
W😮ow factor 100% what you did sanding the nut on the frit board that was one smart idea now I know why your gifted to do what you do you give is the view all the shop secrets for free and this vedio was ausem sometimes i fill like a nut some times I dont..RocknRollFlat5
Any advice for fitting a new nut on a guitar where some of the wood is chipped a little in that area. Just a cheap guitar so not worried about aesthetics.
What do I do if my nut doesn’t fill the void between my top fret and my headstock completely? There’s a little bit of a gap. Stock nut on my Epi LP failed and was replaced with a bone nut professionally. Played great until I went up to .10-52 and didn’t accordingly bore the low side for the thicker strings. Nut popped off again, and my previous attempt to reseat it failed. I miss my LP.
Thank you for this. I have a neck and body that was built by legendary luthier, Jim Donahue, that I was going to cut a bone nut for, but after seeing this video I’m going to give the Tusq a shot. For one they are already slotted (I need to verify this and do some measuring), and moreover I’ve never had tuning instability with former guitars utilizing the Tusq material. Question for folks who have used pre-slotted Tusq nuts, did you find the need to adjust the slot depth to better “seat” the individual strings following installation?
Why do my strings keep moving my knut around. It's the stock knut that comes with it and everything. But I changed my strings and when I start tuning them to standard the tension of low E string pulls the knut...even if everything else is tuned
If the contoured bottom of the Tusq nut is used on a flat neck slot wouldn't the gaps underneath be considered undesirable to those with super human hearing ability?
Using the fret board as a radius sander for nut blanks? I can't believe how many things I learn by watching these videos. Thank you!

3:29 Which fret should we use as reference if the neck's got a compound radius?
First fret area, as close to the nut slot as possible
Before my 74 pbass split I had replaced mine with the handle of a toothbrush
Love that pink Squire!
I prefer Tusq or Nubone as compared to bone. It is a lot easier to work with and shape to get the perfect string height.
Great tip to sand the nut radius using the fretboard!
sure but many guitars have a different radius around the higher frets than the nut area.
Why do the US Fenders have a curved slot for the nut? I can't think it adds any tone (the bearing surface is essentially the same) and it's more difficult to manufacture than a flat bottomed slot.
Because they first make the radius and then groove the fretboard with a blade that copies the radius.

Hello. I have removed the nut from my guitar, but there is a lot of glue residue still on the guitar. How can I effectively remove this glue without damaging the guitar?
If you wanted to use the fretboard to round off the nut, shouldn't you have sanded up and down instead of side to side?
No need to adjust the slot depth/angle after installation?
Really helpful video, nice work, thank you both.
