First PRS Guitar and first post. I really love this guitar but put some locking Gotoh Tuners and tried to replace the Stock Nut w/ the Tusq partnumber above. When I sanded the first nut down, I noticed it was "tilted" towards the headstock. I assumed maybe I didn't sand it properly and ordered a second one, and this time sanded it right up against a second block to keep it square. Still though it is angled and the action is still high despite sanding it to 7.2mm like the stock one. I'm a relative newbie but have installed Graphtechs on several other of my guitars and never experienced anything like this. I gently filed the neck to remove old glue, but maybe there still is some there? I was able to "square it up" with the fret board and crazy glue it in place but there is a small gap on the headstock side or "Top" of the nut. Before doing any more sanding on the Nut or filing the slot I figured I better seek some advice here. Is this nut perhaps cut for 9's instead of 10's? Tone sounds good other than the high action, but not sure I like having that gap there, it's just about enough to get a thumbnail under from the side of the headstock/neck. Thanks in advance!
