1:22 hi it might sound silly, but at what stage did you remove the little wooden block for using to block the tremolo? straight after restringing?

Hi, thanks for watching my video, the block stays in until the tuning is stable and the intonation / action is set - this is so we know the trem is set where we want it for the string tension at the tuning we want. When the block comes out it’s often easier to adjust the screws on the trem claw in the back cavity to get the tuning back in the right place. Long as you don’t change string gauge or tuning it shouldn’t be necessary again. Works with any floating trem system, including Floyd’s

The word may have come from the German Nut - pronounced “noot” , meaning groove or slot.

Thank you, that would make sense the way words get changed over time; I always figured it came from baroque era instruments and was shortened from something else.

1) Can you let me know if intonating a guitar at rest vs. in a sitting position? I was trained to intonate in a sitting position. 2) What is the gap distance at first fret for each string at the NUT stage?

It’s best to make adjustments to the guitar setup in playing position because it is the playing position. Gravity can affect things when it’s lying down, not much but it can be measured with the right equipment. I’ll generally get it somewhere close then dial it in holding it in playing option. String height at first fret will be different for each guitar depending on how it’s made, fret height, nut height, string gauge… Hold the string down at 3rd fret and the string should just clear the first fret, that should be somewhere close then you can file the nut in small amounts to get it precise, but there’s not one ‘correct’ distance that will suit every guitar and player.
