I agree with Ronnie, not all the guitars are the same. And not all the days. Some days I can do 3 or 4 perfect nuts in just one hour and some days I waste 3 or 4 cow legs!

I started building violins and I tried to get the string as close to the fret at the nut and finally some one had to tell me that you need to feel the string at the nut as well as further down the neck and it makes sense when you try it so my whole life changed.<br />

Hi Ron. It would be the same as playing with a capo on right? You can play a hammer-on with a capo so there shouldn't be a difference if the open string is cut to a similar height.

If you have the strings to low at the first fret it is hard to hammer on .You have to have the string moving to make it sound.<br />

If you have no buzzing while playing the string open, you do not have a problem.<br />
<br />
Only way you will get a buzz or rattle, is if the bottom of the nut slots are lower than the top of the first fret. I try to keep it maybe .001" to .002" above the top of the first fret, or same heigth normally works.<br />

The information Frank shows on his web site is accurate. Some instruments will allow you to take the string down lower before there is a buzz. If it still makes a clear note, I'd advise leaving it alone. The idea is to get it as low as possible without it buzzing. I've seen some instruments that you could go a lot lower than others for some reason.<br />
