That paper thing you did was a life saver for my guitar.

did you leave the paper on instead of doing the glue/baking soda thing?

That’s really an interesting way to repair the buzzing. So cool.

You can use bone dust and super glue as well. I've had to do that before when I did my first nut. Great video.

@CMRWoodworks Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah, one of the videos I saw while researching used bone dust.

It’s weird that so many out of the shop guitars have problems with their nuts. I bought and Ibanez recently and it got that problem too, at the open b string. I’ll try that paper trick now.

I used to put spare string fragments (like a piece of the high e) in the nut of an old strat. I had used a hacksaw to slot it, and went a little too deep. I was like 12 and the internet was made of trees back then

I love this hack! Could be a proper trade secret! Solved my Yamaha guitar’s fret buzz issue. And it makes sense - i’ve been playing a lot on the guitar since I bought it, replaced many strings, and never thought the nit could actually wear out. Been watching several videos on fret buzz and repairs to it - but this was the most cost effective and easiest repair. The piece of paper used for fault finding was also awesome & innovative. Learnt a lot in your video. I’d add one mor thing - that the slot being filed should have a slight incline and not be made perfectly parallel with the neck- will keep nuisance breakage of strings at bay and also contribute to even less fret buzz

Great video, I think that I saw the same Dan Earlwine video. I thought I might have to try it on strings 3 & 4 of my second build, but so far managed to avoid it.

@CMRWoodworks Жыл бұрын

It was actually a pretty easy fix. Much easier and less of a hassle than I had drummed up in my mind. Thanks for watching!

@Elise_Guitars 8 ай бұрын

I think that the problem with buzzing nut strings may not be the depth of the nut slot, but actually that the nut slot doesn't have a slight upward slope. If the slot is horizontal (or even sloping down - towards the frets), the string will be loose in the slot and vibrate against the bottom of the slot. I had this issue on my recent build and I solved it by just sloping the slot a little. I think you baking soda trick may have done this, but on future builds perhaps try for a slope?

@CMRWoodworks 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback! When I filed the slots, I did try to file them about the same angle as the headstock, but it is likely that I didn’t do it enough since I was also trying to avoid hitting the headstock. What you said absolutely makes sense. I hadn’t thought about what would happen if the slots were too flat. I’ll surely be thinking about that when I file the next nut. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! I’m enjoying seeing your progress over on Instagram!

I'd just shimmy underneath the nut. Cut a thinner piece of balsa wood to size of the bottom of the nut, glue and then sand down.

Hi Chris, which nut files are you using? Great vid!

@CMRWoodworks Жыл бұрын

I‘m just using some cheap ones I found on Amazon. They were 20-something for the set, I think. Came with 3 double sided files. They have worked just fine for me.

White baking soda as a color match, you can also save different colored sawdust to color match and fill in gaps or holes

@SuperReverbious 4 ай бұрын

Those are temporary solutions. The way to fix it permanently is to install a new nut that is properly cut.

@capohd28 27 күн бұрын

I agree. Although it looks daunting, making a new nut is easier than it looks, even from oversize blanks. If he can build a guitar, making a nut should be easy.

@CMRWoodworks 8 күн бұрын

I made the nut in the video. I just went too far with filing the slots. It was only my second guitar and nut I ever made. I’m working on guitar #4 now, so hopefully I’ll get better! I still have the guitar in the video and it still plays fine without buzzing, but I will likely make another nut at some point if it starts buzzing again.

Also, your grooves are too deep. Half of the string must be OVER the bridge or nut.

You know, I actually just learned that by watching a video earlier in the week. It’s funny I don’t recall ever hearing that anywhere else. Thanks for the reminder! I gotta go back and fix it.
