Guitar Nut
Is nut height an action factor on acoustic guitar?
I bought for peanuts a 12-string acoustic guitar that needs some work…glue a nut back on for example…..I think I did that once for a classical guitar and it wasn’t difficult…is it? What’s the best glue to use?
Action height is very dependent on the string height off the first fret. This is adjusted by cutting the slots to the correct depth on the nut. It should be done by a professional luthier.
Do not use epoxy. It is common to have to replace/adjust the nut. If you epoxy it there may be damage to neck/fingerboard getting it back out. Use Elmer’s Titebond or a similar glue. Do not use much.
At a guess, I would say the nut is probably cut correctly now. To check it. String the guitar (putting the nut in but not gluing it yet), tune it up, and try it. If you don’t get fret buzz and it’s not too difficult pushing the strings down to the first fret, you should be OK. Loosen the strings up (a lot – this might get a little messy) slide the nut out, coat the inside of the nut slot with Titebond, and put the nut back. Try not to slide it back in, if you can so as not to push the glue out. You might try it first dry to see if you can do it (see if the strings are loose enough).
Hint: I always down tune my twelve string acoustics one note (D instead of E) to make them easier to play and relieve a bit of that pressure on the neck. It is very common for twelve string necks to warp.
