Popped my nut filing cherry today. I put on skinny too heavy bottoms on my santana se. Had to file the nut. It's actually the stock nut from 2001 and I have spares so I figured I'd give it a shot and if I fudged it up I can try again. I used the stew mac gauged files and they worked perfectly.
Then I put .10s on my se 245. It had to be filed as well to widen the slots. They were grabbing the high strings pretty hard and the low e didn't even fit in the slot. Stew mac tools worked like a chard here as well.
2 nuts in one day. My wife would love that! But Im tired!
