Location: Pittsburgh PA | The "G" string on my new Ovation hangs up a bit on the Nut. You know, when bringing the string up to pitch it all of a sudden jumps sharp. I know the Nut is a bit tight (I noticed it when I changed strings). I was thinking of just running an emery board on each side of the Nut - very lightly.
What do you think?

Location: Pensacola,FL | Before using an emory board on it, try using a pencil and put a little graphite in the slot - should help it slide easier and you won't create a buzz problem for yourself. (If it still "sticks"
have someone with "nut files" clean up the slot for you). ;)

I grew up in Conneaut, OH on Lake Erie. Do the Pittsburgh people still go up to the lake in the summer to places like Geneva on the Lake? In the 50's and 60's Pittsburghian was the language of the lake towns, especially Geneva.

Location: Pittsburgh PA | Yes, people from this area still do go up to Erie in the summer to the lake. The weather up there is great in the summertime. I don't get up there much as most of my family live south of Pittsburgh.
Charleroi is not that far from where I live either. I am in Peters Township which is a Pittsburgh suburb about 15 miles south of the city.

Because I lived on the lake, I enjoyed going to PA for sightseeing and cruising. The Pittsburgh woodpecker came up to Geneva one summer and visited his cousin and said "While I'm here are there any trees giving you a problem?". He then destroyed 2 hickories and a curly maple his cousin pointed out. His cousin visited him in Pittsburgh the following summer and repaid him by destroying 3 ironwoods and a particularly pesky ash. Proving the farther away from home you are the harder the pecker gets (as many on this board know who dabble in wood working).
