Location: Always beautiful canyon country of Utah | While changing the strings on my 1537 Elite I discovered that the nut is no longer affixed to the guitar. It was just sitting in the groove and fell off when the strings were removed. I was able to restring the guitar without incident but would like to fasten the nut back on next time i restring. What kind of adhesive is recommended for this procedure? Any info will be appreciated. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Put on string 6, followed by 1, then 5, then 2, then 4, then 3. Or the other way around. That way the nut is pulled to the centre. If you go 6,5,4,3 you'll find the nut is half way out of the slot and will be reluctant to move back.
