I've done it. Worked fine. Won't do it again.

 

Here's the deal. If you are only gonna build one or 2 guitars go head and do it ... just use lots of glue.

If you think you're gonna build a few, buy the 9 dollar saw at Harbor Freight, medium/medium fretwire for less than 7 bucks from CB Gitty, and do it right.

 

It's quicker, easier, works better and will last longer if done right.

 

That being said ..... The easiest alternative I've used was a hacksaw (with the tooth width sanded down a bit) and the flat backside leg of bobby pins/hair pins. If I remember correctly, it was a good tap in fit.

I seen a few people use 6d finishing nails, looks like a good idea but i haven't tried it yet.
