Thanks guys. Strings binding at the nut can definitely be an issue, particularly the D string has been known to cause a variety of problems with shearing the winding off, breaking, making weird noises etc. There are different things you can do like angling the nut slots, removing ~half the slot from the back with a round file (which I do), fine sanding/polishing the slots (which I do), etc. Ultimately I'm confident in my ability to make a great, frictionless nut but who knows what happens to the guitar down the line. I think this was a cool idea, not sure if I'll feel the need to do it again in the future but I see some merits to it. Ron, yeah I agree about the negative space on the headstock haha. Probably a few different things could be done with that with a little creativity.
