Greetings, luthiers.

I am about to replace nut on Ibanez XP300FX with 3pc Wizard III neck. Bought matching Graphtech Black Tusq XL 43x6mm nut, googled video instruction http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmUAuRs3Og0. Looks like it's not a Rocket Science - remove old nut, sand new nut, check strings height, glue new nut.

Are there any caveats? Any common mistakes? Is there anything Wizard-specific or Tusq-specific I should know before I start? Is it OK to use PVA glue, or I should use Epoxy?..

PVA is fine, do NOT use epoxy.

And only a tad on the bottom of the nut.
I use two small dabs.
