The nut is the block of material (bone, plastic, wood, etc.) found at the top of the neck/fingerboard where the strings go into slots from the tuners, down to the bridge (pins if steel string).
The nut on a guitar can be found on the neck of the instrument. It is the block of wood, plastic, or bone at the top of the neck.
The nut of a guitar is non-adjustable. The only thing you can do is file it, or remove it and shim it.
Yes, by attaching a converter nut to the existing nut on your guitars' neck. A hawaiian steel guitar nut converter will raise the strings considerably so you can use a slide freely. These are usually made of cast metal, and is placed over your the nut on the guitar. Expect to spend $5 to $10.
You mean the bridge maybe? Strings go over it on the guitar or violin body?
The guitar nut is the rectangular piece that the strings lay on as they come off the peghead and onto the fret board. Most of the time the nut is a whitish color bone, Tusq, or plastic, but can be metal (locking nut)
The 'scale' of a guitar refers to the average string length between the bridge and the nut of the guitar (this is the average length because intonation at the bridge means that not all the strings are identical in length from nut to bridge).
You can't!
no not all nuts fit guitars
You won't ruin anything within your guitar if you remove your guitar cable from it! We guitarist plug and unplug cables from guitars all the time!
They are numbered in order from low to high starting at the nut (headstock end).
The first fret would be the one closest to the nut (where the tuning machines are).
To calculate the mensur of a guitar, measure the length from the bottom of the nut above the first fret to where the string actually sits on the saddle of whatever bridge it is.
It, along with the bridge at the other end, defines the singing length of the open string. It is the bridge that transfers the sound from the string to the soundbox/soundboard of the guitar.
