Carl Gigun	Re: Compensating nut, anybody ? yes, it corrects the fact that the first few fretted notes usually play sharp compared to the open note. If the nut height is set really low it's not usually needed. And yes, you move the nut towards the bridge a few mm. Use a tuner to set the open string to pitch then compare the first three fretted notes to it. Often only one ot two strings need help, low e usually. -Carl Gigun
