Last night I removed the nut from the AMI J45 in preparation for the tusq nut that should be arriving today. I decided to file the slots some more just because... also sanded off a little from the bottom to ensure it was flat and square to the back (fret board side), cleaned the space of old glue (it was also on the finger board), used a jeweler file to smooth the surface... smoothed (chamfered) the corners.

Got bored/restless this mornin and decided, what the hey... reinstalled the nut... smoley hokes! Easier to fret and actually seems to have increased the sustain

a smidgen. Not much, but noticeable as I love me some sustain so I do pay attention...

Now, I will have an extra nut layin around

No sir. Open mic was cancelled (sort of) as John had a once a year gig at a wine festival with a band he plays with. I did get a text message at 630, from my buddy, Shane, asking if I was coming. I replied I didn't know it was happening and I was playin with the J45 and didn't feel like rushin around to go... apparently a last minute session happened. So, next week for the Lyric debut
