A friend asked me to take a look at an old guitar he had. Someone converted it to left handed by turning the nut 180 degrees then had to put a toothpick in front of the nut to hold the strings up.

I have heard of this and using wooden match sticks for a broken nut for a quick fix during a gig. Not for a long-term fix to adjust string action.

It's an economy zero fret conversion. Buy a box of toothpicks and advertise it as a premium service!
