That is what I'm thinking too.
Thanks Gary

I'll dig around in here and see, I may have a chunk of brass suitable for a guitar nut. I've never tried to fill a brass nut slot with CA and brass filings but it's worth a shot. Make a fine powder of brass and carefully cure it into the glue, then file it off and recut the slot.

It's looking great!

Thanks Greg.
No hurry, I'll let you know when I'm ready to work more on it.
Another thought is to add inserts to allow an Alembic made adjustable nut.

When I get home from work I might have energy and gumption to test the guitar.
I bet there will be new songs created with inspiration from this graceful instrument 

Looks great! 😊 👍
