So I just tuned and detuned until the rough strings filed them down. Anyone else run into this annoying problem before? By the way, my Jackson SLSMG has a plastic-like nut. Or whatever material it is... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

It's a long-term expandable part as well, because it has so much contact with the string. I would advise changing the nut every 2-4 years if you play often. Other than that, I don't think there should be a problem. If there is, changing the nut is not difficult or expensive. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
