Topic: What is happening to my guitar!?

Hey guys!

happy new year to you all default/smile

I have not really noticed this lately until now. I knew something wasn't right. How can this be fixed? is it the nut?
My strings seem to be migrating south and i have no clue why.

not been near a radiator either. always laid on cushioned carpet in the music room.

Thanks guys! May need to see my local tech

Re: What is happening to my guitar!?

its not the nut..its the alignment of the neck ( relative to the bridge )

slacken the screws that hold the neck on about 1/2 a turn
hold the guitar... pull  the headstock up until the strings are
central relative to  the fingerboard ( this will only be mm ) .. tighten up the
screws

in a nut shell:
with the git facing you make the body rigid and move the headstock slightly
to the left or right until the strings are centered

thank you!

I recently put on a new back plate and used the screws it came with so i just changed them over and now it looks fine again, what do you think?

many thanks!

yeh nice one
the screws should be a flush fit with the holes on the body so the neck
can only sit in one place..the new screws are probably a smaller diameter
so the neck would have to be aligned before tightening
+the neck could drift if knocked etc
