That is not a camera trick, the end of the fingerboard really was cut at that angle!

I am sure I remember them going with a slanted nut at one time
I did find other examples of the purposely slanted nut:
And no, it wouldn't work on the Uke with its skinny string on the bass side

Thing is these are new strings, 9s and I was thinking about trying 10's next, thicker strings wont help much will they? Would it be prudent to wait and sort this with the next string change?
How do you go about removing material from the nut anyway? Is it best left to a tech?
The cheap option is the needle files used to clear welding tips of built up material (used to be a couple of quid on ebay - I have a few at home still) but they're tricky to use and it's necessary to guesstimate size.

I think it will have to go to a tech to have the nut done, Id probably balls it up on a first attempt at something like this.
