Does anyone know a quick-fix to level the strings on the nut?
It's a 2'nd hand parts-caster made from old Fuji-gen parts, and I'd really like to avoid removing the old nut (it's not coming out easy), was thinking to try giving it some epoxy or super-glue in the slit for the D and B-string, but I'd love to hear any ideas before I start destroying one of my guitars :-)
Classic repair shop trick is baking soda and super glue, just tape around the nut so you don't fuck up the fretboard, when it dries in like 15 minutes you can file it back down
Thanks for the reminder to cover the fretboard :-)
OP used your advice and fixed his nut, but I thought I'd leave this video here for anybody else who runs into a similar problem.
why would you make a new nut when you can save your old one like this? in minutes!
