pariah223 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 So i am just about at the point where i start setting up my acoustic build. All that is left to do is make the bridge, and the nut. I do not have nut files and i am sure there is an alternative but i want to get some opinions or ideas based on what you guys use if you dont use nut files. I also can't seem to find a tapered reamer anywhere for reaming the bridge pin holes to fit the tapered bridge pins. Is there any kind of alternative to that? or do i have to order a reamer? Thanks!

pariah223 Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 in cumpiano's book.. it says you can drill a hole the size of the pin 1/16 down from the head of the pin, and that should be fine. I tried it, and the pin seats snug and is all the way down.. so i think this will actually work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
