Hi

you need to make your nut to fit over the nut you all ready have so you don`t have to touch your guitar,take a piece of the small standard copper pipe i think its 22mm hammer it so it goes more oval you then cut one side so its longer and rest on the guitar head and the cut the other side so it rest on the finger board you and fit a small piece of plastic under both sides so it does not scratch the guitar you then use a jnr hacksaw and cut the string slots to the same as the nut you have on the guitar,useing this you lift the strings high enough to play it as a lap guitar,

regards Dave

I always play the right notes but not always in the right order
