Sinclair Community College | ETD 110 Guitar Service Manual

Nut Adjustment and Replacement:

� X-Acto knife

� Vice grips or End nippers (optional depending on guitar)

� Super glue

Nuts can become damaged over time and affect the playability of

your guitar. When this happens you are going to want to replace the

nut.

If the neck of your guitar is finished then

you are going to want to score the edges of the nut with an X-acto

knife. The reason for doing this is to prevent chipping when

removing the nut.

X-acto Knife

This is probably the easiest method for removing a

guitar nut. After you have scored the edges of the nut, you can

slightly tap the nut from the side to cause it to slide out.
