If I were to cut an already slotted fretboard at the first fret location to shorten the scale, I would assume I would need to shim the nut half the width of the slot since I cut it flush with the bridge side of the slot? If I were to cut it at the second fret, would I need to shim the nut by half or the full width of the slot? Would the distance compound as I move up the fretboard? I bought some fretboards and I think that the boards were slotted from a larger fretboard template and I'm having some issues with intonation. I'm hoping I can shim them instead of replacing the boards. I'm hoping that I just need to shim .0115 for a .023 slot.
