Questions

What is the difference between the neck and the fretboard?

The neck is the long wooden part; the fretboard (or fingerboard) is the strip glued on its front, with the frets set into it.

What does the nut do?

The nut is the small slotted strip at the top of the fretboard. It holds the strings at the right spacing and height, and marks where the vibrating part of the open string begins.
