thx Garrett,

Yes I have read that as well. Can you recommend a good place to get a pre-slotted bone nut?

I figured that the upside of all this is, even if I buy the wrong nut and screw up the string slot filing, I am not gunna be doing any damage to the rest of the guitar and at most will lose the cost of the nut. Then I can take it to a prefessional.....:)
