bigneil Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 You can't be cheap when it comes to the strings. You don't want to sound like your playing inside of a trash can! Yeah, this daft bugger bought a set of cheap strings...His tone hasn't been right since. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTV4KnPB7Ug&feature=endscreen&NR=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truss rod may need adjusting, the bridge may need raising, nut slots may need to be raised, or any combination thereof. All of these procedures are best carried out by a professional, such as the guitar technician at the guitar store you mentioned. Short answer: Pay the $65 and get it set up. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AL1132 Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 so... last time I changed the strings and found out that the nut aren't attached and glued then I bought weldbond, a wood glue and glued it by myself but I noticed that the nut aren't attached on it and there's a gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes manufacturers don't use enough glue on the nut, or forget to glue it, so the string tension holds the nut down. Regardless of the gap, it wouldn't cause fret buzz. And I know most guitar stores in my area charge about $50 for a setup. $50-$70 is the acceptable range in my opinion, with $70 being the upper end. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
