hmm , you should "grind" the slot for G string a little bit deeper..I guess that should do the job..

i almost always knock my G-string out of the nut. Hmmm, nut problem when bending, G-string. Sorry mate, I don't have the right experience. And more serious, I think Bogdan solved it. Check also that the slot in the nut isn't too wide, it should still stay firm around the string. -------------------- My bands homepage

Bogdan said exactly what I would say. It also happens if your strings are thicker than it is recomended for your guitar so the string doesn't fit well into the nut's hole (cut).

Grinding can work, but it can be risky tho, G string can start to buzz if you lower it down, and then you need nut replacement. SO be careful with that grinding, I wouldn't recommend that you do the grinding yourself, take it to some luthier let him determine if you need nut replaced or just grinded off.

You can get a good set of nut files for about $50 on Ebay (I have one). They will pay for themselves in one use.
Having proper tools is key to any do it yourself job. Pretty hard to cut a nut without proper nut files. If you cut it too low, you can just fill the slot. Here is a discussion on that http://www.tdpri.com/forum/tele-tech/97175...nut-repair.html Fix it yourself, and then you know it is done right. 90% of what "Professional" means is they have the right tools and *probably* know how to use them. Just read on internet on how to cut a nut. |

Hmmm, nut problem when bending, G-string. Sorry mate, I don't have the right experience. I wouldn't mess with your nuts yourself, you're best letting somebody else see to them. I couldn't resist either. Does the G string get twisted with the nut I best stop I'm watching you guys! ...hey wait a minute.. -------------------- My bands homepage
