The bone nut of my Legend L717 (1990) has come loose for some time now (it was only lightly attached before), and while it's overall not a massive problem, it's bothersome when changing strings all at the same time.

What kind of glue would you recommend for fixated the nut at the headstock again? Thanks.

A little dab of Elmer's would work just fine.

Yes. I used Elmer's carpenter glue and it's held for years. It's not bone, but I don't think that would make much difference. It doesn't take much to hold it.

Location: Pueblo West, CO		Yeah, you don't want to use more than just a couple of drops of glue so that if/when it needs to be replaced in the future it can be popped loose with a gentle tap.

Location: Boise, Idaho		I thought of what Dan just said as soon as I hit "Submit". You don't want anything that will tear up the guitar if you need to replace the nut again.

Location: Katmandu		Good point, I'll make sure to use it sparingly, just to fixate the nut a little in the middle.

It all went down well. I could also eliminate some sharp overtones on the high E string by slightly grazing the nut slot with a very fine needle, and I glued together a broken bar stool on the side as well. Gosh, I've always loved me some Titebond.
