After adjusting the neck’s relief, the strings buzz on the first frets, so I’ll make a custom nut adapted to this electric guitar. It takes a lot of experience to do these kinds of projects.

Merely removing the old nut from a Gibson guitar is complicated enough, unlike Fenders, where doing this is easier. I’ll glue on a new nut with cyanoacrylate and, while I’m at it, I’ll polish all the frets and hydrate the fretboard with a homemade oil mixture.

The new strings must be adjusted, as well as the distance between them and to the fretboard. Finally, I’ll tune the instrument.
