Harley Benton Fanned Fret 8 String (setup and general stuff)

* Did a setup on a Harley Benton 8 string and also cleaned the neck/polished the fretwires. Had to work on some and sand them down. I took one out and reinserted it, as it had accumulation of wood beneath it, and it stuck out.
The nut also needed some work, it was in a rough shape visually before, and I also made one slot a little higher using a technique that is very good, combining superglue and dust from a composite nut (something I rarely do, and I usually change the nut and adjust accordingly, but for such a nut and such a small rise in the action, it was a quick fix, no need to change the entire nut, as this mixture is very tough and once polished it's slippery and shiny).
