Classical Guitar Nut Height
August 30th, 2010 | 
Author: Is the height of the nut of a factor acting on the acoustic guitar?
I bought one for peanuts acoustic guitar strings 12 that needs some work … stick a twist, for example ….. I think I did it once for a classical guitar and it was difficult … Right? What is the best cola to use?
Action height is very dependent on the height of the strings on the first fret. This is adjusted by reducing the slots at the correct depth nut. Should be done by a professional luthier. Do not use epoxy. It is common to have to replace or tighten the nut. If the epoxy may have damage to the neck / fingerboard recover out. Elmer using Titebond or similar adhesive. Not much use. At a guess, I'd say probably the nut is cut correctly now. To check. Guitar string (Putting the nut, but not as yet attached), tune it and test it. If you do not get fret buzz is not too difficult to push the strings to the first fret, you should be fine. Loosen the strings up (a lot – this could be a bit messy) slide the nut, coat the inside of the nut slot with Titebond, and put the bolt back. Try not to slide again, if you can not drive to the glue out. You can treat dry first to see if you can do (if the strings are loose enough). Tip always set my twelve string acoustic a note (D instead of E) to make them easier to play and relieve some of that pressure on the neck. Is very common for twelve string neck strain.
