Fixing the Schecter (Nut replacement fret leveling and clean up)
Рет қаралды 246
11 ай бұрынThis started out as a clean and setup style video but when I noticed the nut was too small, then I had to change the video and show how to fix that. I hope this helps for anyone trying to replace their guitar nut.
Here's the nut I used. Black Tusq says it's a direct replacement but I had to do some filing to get it to sit right. Genuine Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL Nut 6 String Electric Nut 42 X 6 PT-6642-00 - www.ebay.com/itm/303223452614

I was looking at that same model of graphtech nut. I also noticed that my nut is slanted or at a ramp like yours was. Did the 6642-00 Graphtech work out good for you? Does it still play as nice with the new nut?

Is there a specific name for that exact chisel you used? My Schector c6 Deluxe needs a new nut as well. It was playing fine until I removed the strings! I purchased it second hand & it looked like some funny business was going on with the nut. Almost as if someone used superglue on the nut slots but, when I went back the second time, 99.99% of all fret buzz was gone & it played beautifully so I just played it the way it was until today & now this. I NEED my Schector c6 Deluxe back to 100% I have fallen in love with this guitar prior to today.

What glue is best to reattach a new nut? Also, did the Graphtech pt-6642-00 work as good as the factory nut? I am worried about the angled factory nut not matching the replacement.

The new nut (pt-6642-00) worked like a charm! It fixed my issues with string buzzing. I don’t have a recommendation for a chisel or glue other than if you buy one at the store, you have to find the smallest one the got. Because my smallest normal woodworking chisel was almost too big. As for glue I use the tiniest drops of super glue (two, one near the A string and one near the B string). I only say I don’t have serious recommendations because luthiers would probably frown on my techniques but it’s worked out. I saw nothing wrong after I was done and the issue is fixed. I know that small amount of super glue too is easy to remove too.

Hi, cool video. Recently I overcut a nut and used StewMac "nut powder" and some CA glue to repair and recut. Does a great job. Did you consider doing that instead of replacing the nut? Cheers.

Hello! Thanks for watching :) and yes, I considered that or the super glue and baking soda trick, but the problem was I did not have any dark enough material and I wanted to sell this guitar after fixing it up, so I saw that the nut was so cheap that it was worth buying it and swapping it out.

Can you recommend a decent low cost digital tuner for intonation?
@Bruddermane 8 ай бұрын
I know Korg makes one that's low cost that comes with most guitar started kits. But You can use just about any trusty tuner you have that lets you plug your guitar directly into the tuner.

@@Bruddermane thx brudda. When I look online, the ads don't show the tuners connecting via the jack, just by a clip-on at the neck. You mean one that plugs into the output jack of the electric guitar, right?

I just bought a donner. It has a metronome, too. Twofer!
