This ace Fender Stratocaster was recently in the workshop to have a new hand cut bone nut fitted, replacing the incorrect spaced one!
The customer had already positioned the nut to make the string spacing on the edges of the board correct, you can see from the gap on the treble side how much it was out.

The original nut spacing was slightly incorrect plus the string positioning on the fingerboard was incorrect. The correct string spacing was calculated and marked.
The new nut being test fitted during its shaping, the customer had also removed the lacquer edge when he moved the original nut, this too will be sorted as part of the repair.

During the slot cutting process, final slot depth is set once the nut has been glued in.
All finished with the strings on and some lacquer applied to blend it in
