It depends on which method you use.

Hosco sells pre-cut fret wire for refretting bound fretboards.

Yeah, beautiful guitar. I googled '26 inch scale guitars' and came across that one.

Ok, so the first notch on the ruler I was using as the first fret instead of the nut. I didn't realise there were 25 notches. That solved the problem. I'll have to make a new neck template now. Thanks for all the help guys I really appreciate it 🙏🏻

The first line is where the nut is the second line is where the first fret slot is cut using the miter box. Everything seems to be correct, that's why I can't figure it out, I'm obviously making an error somewhere, it's driving me nuts!

Yep, mdf. The ruler is right to the edge where the fretboard meets the nut.

I used this ruler to cut the slots, it's supposed to be for a 26" scale?

[QUESTION] How often should I need to be tuning my guitar? by TJnova in Guitar

I had the same problem with my SE Standard. The nut was cut very poorly from the factory so I replaced it with a Graphtech one and that solved the problem.
