Mark Hammer	Re: Graphtec saddles and a properly cut nut,...(m) Thanks for the tips. The nut groove depth is one that I hadn't considered. One generally thinks in terms of appropriate string height, so if the string is too high, you just make the groove deeper, right? Wrong. Presumably, the fewer parts of its perimeter are in contact with the nut, the less the string grabs when moving forward and backward as one wiggles the stick.
