New nut on Wolf

 

Merry Christmas.  Looking to wrap up this project in the next couple of months.  Just need to solder in the switches and pickups.  Wonder if the bridge pickup was a mistake as it appears on youtube to be mostly for metal.  


 pic note: replacement nut has same string spacing and neck width as original.

Changed the nut out today with a graphtech drop in replacement.  One of the selling points of the wolf was the bone nut.  Unfortunately they filed the high E too low and there has always been a buzz at the 1st fret when played open.  I had to file out a minute worth of debris on both the nut(manufacturing artifact) and the guitar(old glue) to get it to seat flush on the wood..  High E no longer carries the phantom noise of that light fret buzz.  

I wonder how much sustain this guitar will have once I plug it in...  Will find out once I can get my soldering iron out to work.
