Slotting Gibson Les Paul Nuts:

String height at the nut slots: Due to my heavy handed and semi-sloppy playing techniques, a personal preference is to have the height extremely close to just above the height of the first fret.

Fretting a string between the 2nd and 3rd frets, I'll look and feel for a string gap over the 1st fret of just less than .01 for the E, A, & D strings; and down to less than .005 for the G, B, & the high E strings. This goes along with my prefered small amount of neck relief too.

I tend to use .011" neck relief on just about everything.

I use the Gibson/Fender published specs of .022" Fender (.025" Gibson) at the 1st fret as a minimum spec. My Stratocaster is a full .030" at the first fret.

I set 24.75" scale guitars to .070" @ 12th fret.

I set 25.5" scale guitars at .055" at the 12th fret.

These are pretty much my SOP's no matter what.
