Title: Installing an Earvana Nut - video links
Post by: FELINEGUITARS on December 06, 2010, 11:38:57 AM

We've just uploaded a new film on YouTube - first in a series we are doing on installing the Earvana Nut system on guitars
There will be more to follow - showing all the different types and how to go about fitting them.

We import these direct from the states and sell them directly , via our websites and on our ebay shop

I've now added another video - this time it's part one of the installation video for the original Retro-fit nut
This is part one and shows how to fit the base unit - part two will show how to fit the top part and cut the slots

Here is the link to part one  - will post here once part two is up

Thanks guys - I'm going to keep doing vids till we have every angle of the Earvana system covered.
We have our own UK based Earvana website about to launch :www.earvana.co.uk
We are hoping to make it a really useful site with clips and info etc

Do you always have to shave the nuts down when installing them? If so i'm definitely not doing it myself when i get one.

I imagine the Floyd one will just be a direct fit?

And very nice videos. Very informative

A member of the Gretsch forum just got one of these for his Gretsch because he couldn't get the intonation right with a bar bridge.

It worked out great for him.

these are really good. I'd feel confident having a go and fitting one after watching the shelf nut vid.

When you sawed into it. And then hammered it, and clipped it.

It was like.. watching open heart surgery. And the fact it was a Les Paul. I was quite mesmerised and scared.

Yeah. I think I'm alone on this one.

Good video editting by the way, I should add.

You should slip in a good guitar riff at the start. With your Lion maybe.

Thanks Jonny

Here's another I uploaded tonight
This one is about preparing an Earvana Shelf Nut so it sits flush with the top of the fingerboard
