Nice 12 string, just wants a bone nut and saddle to make it into something special.

I’ll make the new nut from a large blank since I don’t have one for a 12 string.

First of all make sure it’s flat and square…Then shave it down to the right thickness..

Once it fits the slot I’ll cut the shape..

Using the old nut as a guide…

Next I’ll make the new saddle…

Again I’ll just use the original as a guide, Making sure the bottom is flat and square..

also making sure the top matches the radius of the fretboard.

That should do..

Before I put the strings back I’ll give the fretboard a little oil as it’s rather dry.

With the strings back check the setup..

The set was rather excessive so a turn or two on the truss-rod..

The action height at the 12th fret was spot on, got the saddle right first time.

Lastly the action at the 1st fret.  I need to cut the slots down to get the action right.

There we go, nicely setup..
