But I would suggest the nut is the single biggest factor in the equation. The newer Gibson nylon nuts on historics are really good for tuning, but I wo...

Re: HN335D

Nice one Brian! 335 neck removals can be a real biatch. Looks like there's binding botches also? All doable of course...but all time and money too.
