What's the perfect depth for nut slots? How do you measure it? In this video I share some insight into the time-tested process I use for cutting nut slots to depth - without using any other tools other than the files and strings themselves.
Backstory: Many years ago I tested methods of cutting slot depths. What I found was the ideal depth is not a static measurement: different types of strings and gauges combined with the temperaments of individual instruments, plus the nut material itself meant each job was unique.
After a lot of experimentation, I found that using the gap of light between the bottom of the string and the first fret was the key. Can these measurements be quantified? Yes, they can be generalized, but they are wholly dependent on the rest of the guitar's setup.
Here's some info for reference:
