more guitar sickness
I've got a gig tomorrow, as I mentioned yesterday, so of course I'm sitting her doing guitar maintenance. I'll be plugged into a PA system, so I don't need the full volume and projection I normally need for playing on a streetcorner; instead I can try to make it more playable. I removed the shim from under the nut, and it's a lot more comfortable to play, though when I play hard it buzzes a lot. Particularly the G string, as I'd mentioned earlier it was setting too low in the nut previously. When shimmed, it works fine, but when not that's the only plac eI really have a problem...
so I need to get another nut! Can't believe I'd never thought of this before, but if I have a nut and saddle set up for playing on the street and a nut and saddle set up for playing a show, I could just switch them out. Easy!
so yeah, my guitar is about to have two nuts. Interchangeable. to not only reduce problems I've been having with a buzzing G string, but make for much more pleasant action all over my guitar.
Some day this joke will get old. Not today. :)
