So I was intrigued by the discussions of the Aquila reds and decided to give them a try. I'm putting them on a converted Vega Style N (little Wonder) with a skin head. I have had steel on it and thought it sounded alright but could be better. Anyway I immediately realized that the nut is cut for steel strings and they Nylguts wont go on. So, I have to file the slots a bit. if I do that am I committed to using the Nylguts? can I go back if I dont like them? it sems like the steel strings would buzz in the wider slots.
I dont have any nut files. What tool would give me the best chance of being able to try them out but go back to steel again if I want?
