soybean Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 What what if the "nut" is not the problem? Then you have wasted good sauce! Yes, but it often is. Almost all guitars can be improved with a lubed nut. Otherwise, get one of the teflon nuts, or Graph Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulk1 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hmmm... was it Arnie? And to add a comment to the original poster.. I'd check for strings binding at the nut with the issue that you're having and double check intonation just for kicks. Eh, yep. Thats what he told me. So, first beer from the bottom of the tub is on me, Fred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy2270 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I agree with the maple neck being more resistant, I also think that body heat has a lot to do with it for acoustic guitars. My Jumbo Guild does a decent job of staying in tune but my archtops, oh vie, what a chore that can be. I swear they go out of tune as I am tuning them. I am a luthiers best friend when it comes to a floating bridge and seasonal changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
