Hey everyone, just inquiring about an issue I've never worked on before, and it's in regard the nut slot on the G string on my SE Custom 24.

Guitar is set up to PRS specs as best as I can do (would love lower action but it seems like the .008 relief and 5/64 across the board is where this one wants to be). It's intonated properly at the 12th fret, but my fretted chords throughout the neck that include the G string just sound off to my ear. Used my nut height gauge that came with my Music Nomad setup kit and it looks like there's definitely a gap on the G string at the first fret, and MAYBE a slight gap on the B and high E, but very close, might want to file those down too.

So, I understand the concept, but I've never done it. I also dont want to spend $100+ on a file kit I might not use all the much, and I really only need the one string size right now (playing EB Hybrid's, so it's a .017 in this case for the G).

Anyone have experience with this, or have some alternatives to the nicer expensive sets of files that will work for the time being?
