RE: OT: Fretless Guitar

By the way you'll probably need to sand the finish off that fretboard
for it to work halfway decent, then easy to stain it if you wanted to,
most have some lacquer on the fretboard I think....just fyi. If you need
to lower the nut and are happy with the string slots and spacing and
stuff, might be better to pull the nut and sand it down, by hand, with
sandpaper glued to a flat surface, then you are just lowering all the
way across but don't go too far. Again a bit of heat will help it pop
loose, maybe a few seconds with a heat lamp, but its probably plastic so
be careful. Nuts really shouldn't be glued in, other than a few drops of
white glue to just give it a little grip, which releases easily with a
little heat. Man this is making me want to get my luthier tools out
again!!!
