you should show what to do when the freaken nut is to high. my strings are wayyyy to high at the first fret. wow just bough a Ibanez jem junior and I have never seen anything that high. OMFG
i don't want to tell the guy his job, but i would protect the side of the headstock while removing the nut. unless the guitar is completely beat up already...
Shims and removing material from the nut does not address the issue of the individual height of a string over the fret. The radius of the fingerboard affects this. I have a new Charvel and the floyd rose bridge and the nut doesn't quite match the board radius. I plan to shim the bridge and file the nut so the individual string heights are correct. BTW, been playing floyd rose guitars for close to 40 years and have done this several times.
This video shows how to lower a Floyd Rose locking nut that does not have a shim. th-cam.com/video/lS2YwAilgu0/w-d-xo.html The nut height spot is at 39:14.
This is a dangerous way to show an example of how to set a nut hight. If the bridge is set at a different hight than the one in the video, you will have very different numbers, so be very careful.
Thank you for your very clear and detailed explanation.
Good job, Locking Nuts can be a hassle, but would not change a great Floyd ♥️🤘🎸🤠
Thanks! The buzz on the loose E and B drives me nuts.

Thanks for reaching out. Can you email us at tech@musicnomad.com, and we can discuss your instrument's specific needs? Thanks!
I dont want to shim it, I want it lower. so I will sand it.
What do you sand it with?
@@Ben-ll3iy file and sand paper. or you can file the metal instead.

It looks like some kids already scribbled on it... it's a loss.

But Charvel have compound radius 12-16. They won’t match because nut must be in 12 radius and bridge in 16 radius.
I cant believe you assume there is a shim in there, what if there is no shim and we want to lower the nut?

@@MusicNomadCare Thank you very much

I think the nut is being adjusted after the rest of the guitar has been set up "perfectly".
