Hello to All, newbie here.... First off, this is a very informative site, i'm glad i stumbled into it...... I've been trying to learn all i can about setting up my own acoustics, and it looks like i'm off to a good start here....
I was just about to post a nut question when i saw this thread....... Anyway, my question is, how low can i get the nut's height to be without getting any string buzz on open strings? Is there a hard and fast rule to doing this? I was setting up a Yamaha FG 150, and i lowered the bridge because it was too high.... i also compensated the bridge..... now, i kept the guitar's original nut for the time being because i ran out of blanks.... I have noticed that the guitar developed a slight buzz on the G string (this is an unwound G, I think a 0.017)...... So, i think i will have to replace the nut......
Hope someone can straighten me out.....
Chum
