I have an Epiphone Dot and I'm having trouble keeping it in tune.Does anyone else have this problem. If so what did you do to correct it?

The tuning problem I'm having with my Dot is only the G string.I haverelaced the strings, tightened the tuner and put pencil lead under in the nut.I have losened the string and run a wound string back and forth through its groove in the nut.Still after playing a few minutes, it out.Should I relace the nut?

JLHooker[/quote']Try a wound G string. Or compensate the tuning by using harmonics.
