Need Help! how to position LSR Nut Slot in respect to 12 3/4 (323.8mm)

[Ardie]

Hi Guys ,  :guitarplayer2:

I just recently order a neck and body from Warmoth. The guitar im assembling was based from Stratocaster.

I need some help from you guys, who have some knowledge in  calculating the correct position of the Nut Slot for Fender LSR NUT in respect to the middle position of the neck
which is 12 3/4 (323.8mm).
What i know is the LSR nut has to be .219 (5.562mm) in width x .105-.115 deep @ center..
Im not very sure were to take the measure of  12 3/4 (323.8mm) in respect to the position of the slot width. I know this is critical to be able to achieve the correct intonation.

1. I know to get the correct intonation I have to measure from “12th FRET” a  distance of 12 3/4 (323.8mm) towards the NUT and measure if from the edge
but this is the case if im using a standard nut. WHAT if the NUT is LSR and the NECK that i purchased is not "PRECUT"

2. Im not ver sure when i measure from the “12th FRET” a  distance of 12 3/4 (323.8mm) towards the NUT where should I get the reference incase of LSR NUT?
Do still have to measure it from the edge of .219 (5.562mm) width? Or I need to minus .094 from 12.75 (12 3/4)?

I appreciate if you can advise me on this matter and I don’t want scrap the neck.  :headbang1:

As far as I can remember from the last time I fitted an LSR, all the extra wood is removed from in front of the existing nut.
(i.e. towards the first fret)
Your Warmoth neck will have a normal width nut slot, so just remove the extra as above.

If you want to double check, then use the fret position calculator on the stew mac site...

Thanks Phil  :blob7:

"Your Warmoth neck will have a normal width nut slot, so just remove the extra as above."

So my Warmoth neck will come with a normal width nut slot, Uhhhm if that's the case. I will just remove the xtra wood towards the 1st Fret.
To make sure I will measure the normal width nut slot edge and confirm the 12.75in just to make sure.
i never thought the neck will come with Precut normal nut slot..

Thanks alot Buddy cheer!  ccasion14:
