exhaust_49 Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Right now I have 12's on my acoustic. I plan to try 13-56 strings the next time I change my strings. What is the best way to widen my nut slots (without taking the guitar to a tech) while keeping a smooth arch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Right now I have 12's on my acoustic. I plan to try 13-56 strings the next time I change my strings. What is the best way to widen my nut slots (without taking the guitar to a tech) while keeping a smooth arch? Try the mediums first, then worry about whether you need to enlarge any nut slots. Chances are you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaden Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Mattia is right, but the chances are that you will have to adjust the truss rod a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Why do you need such a big gauge on the guitar. It will only put undue stress on everything and try to tear itself to pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
