GUITAR NUT & SADDLE JIG - Gauges the slot depth

THE JIG UNIQUELY GAUGES THE GUITARS NUT SLOT DEPTH
The unique feature of the jig is the gauging of the nut slot depth. This enables accurate work to be performed away from the instrument using an exact comparison of the guitar. Nut filing and string slot relief can be accomplished without restrictions from the guitar and adjustments for intonation improvement are easier to undertake.
 
SIMPLE GAUGING/COMPARISON METHOD
The comparison of the guitar is achieved by a simple arrangement similar to using a vernier depth gauge. Two sliding plates are used to gauge the depth of the slot relative to the surface.
 
After gauging the guitar, the plates are locked together. The top of the jaws provide the reference for the crown and the step is the reference for the nut seating. This setup allows the nut to be removed for checks on the guitar and replaced accurately back onto the jig without fiddling to adjust the height or squareness.
 
The nut seating plate has two different ends which can be swapped around - a flat end for standard nuts and a curved end for fender style curved bottom nuts.
