Part of what determines a string's intonation is the overall diameter of the string. Wear, corrosion and gunk can all alter the strings dimension (both plus and negative). As a rule of thumb, only check intonation after installing brand new strings. A good lesson to learn, glad you shared this so others can learn.
@@LMGuitarCorner I have a 1954 Reissue Les Paul Goldtop with a wrap stopbar tailpiece/bridge. With that particular guitar I need to change strings more often to retain its intonation. That wrap tailpiece just seems to be more susceptible to string wear affecting/changing the guitar's intonation. My point being, some guitars seem more susceptible to this issue than others.
Good advice Lukas, patience and little steps. Changing the strings first is what I am going to take into mind when faced with same problem. Thanks for the tips. 👍
Lukus Brother,,, that totally Sucks 😔 but lessoned learned, the hard way! Always Never Rush is Ruel number one! As my Father use to tell me from Sweeping the floor to building A House! Any Job worth doing should be Done Right! World's I've tried to pass on to my 4 son's. Great Advice we must Always remember. TY Lukus 🎸🤘🤠
Great honest and useful video! I can tell you that if you want a backup replacement nut which is the exact same as the one this guitar comes in, in Europe you can order it by emailing the guitar seller and asking about it, then they'll order it for you and send it.
Thank you very much for the kind words! Thanks for the tip! I bought a Graph tech nut as a backup, but at the moment, there is fortunately no need to replace the bone nut. Cheers, Lukas
@@LMGuitarCorner This is great, I'd be very thankful if you could share what GraphTech nut you bought, because of course I tried that way first but then ended up querying the guitar distributor whose name starts with "T" in Europe to get the one created by Ibanez. The one I got was "Graph Tech PT-6642-00 Black TUSQ XL Nut" which has the right size but the string slots are slightly differently spaced, however I believe the best option if you have a reliable luthier is what you did and just go and get an unslotted nut and get it done right.
Starts with a T and ends with homann 😂? I got this one: www.thomann.de/at/graph_tech_black_tusq_xl_pt_6643_00.htm I haven't checked if the string spacing is correct and to be honest, I can't remember why I bought the 6643 over the 6642... Probably because of some user reviews. Cheers!
I have an old Yamaha I’ve replaced the nut on, then a few years later I dropped it and it shattered the bone nut and replaced it with a graphtech and i cut it wrong so some time soon ill be getting it a new one. Thanks for sharing.
Great video Lukas and I'm glad you did it... many can benefit from this lesson for sure! I think I now better understand why Phil McKnight always likes fresh strings on his guitars… it's probably this very same issue. Will you come out for this year's NAMM and Disneyland with the family? 😎🤘🎸🐦🥒
Thanks Laz! Glad you enjoyed it. We're not having any plans to go to the US anytime soon, my kids are just to small and I think they will enjoy such a trip much more in maybe 5-7 years. Cheers, Lukas
Lukas , I would of done the exact same thing we’re guitar players we all rush n want our new shiny toy working NOW! Great vid brother 🤘🎸please tell MARTIN PEACE BROTHER ✌️🤪❤️❤️❤️
Hey there. You would have to buy a bone nut blank and work on it with nut files. I don't know more since the nut replacement was done in a guitar store. Cheers, Lukas
I can recommend the Hosco Groobar Set to coach you thru the nut fileing process.

Dude, this video is awesome and necessary. Do the easiest possible fix first, and never hurry your repairs. You are the man 🤘🤘
Thanks a lot Seth! Cheers, Lukas

Some great pointers here. Great way to make some lemonade.
