1st & 2nd string cut in the wood behind the nut ?!?

[banjoplayer]

I changed the strings of my EBMM SM today for the first time after owning it for half a year now. The stock strings sounded so good but hardly needed a replacement

Whilst changing I discovered that the 1st and 2nd string cutted in the wood behind the neck. Are you having this on your EBMM´s too? Is it a matter of construction (4/2 headstock to avoid string trees - so the tuners are close to the nut - Lower nut on the treble side). Or did I do something wrong ?

It is not a matter and i´m sure, nothing´s wrong with it, but I´d like to know.

Half a year?
I have to change strings at least once a week.

That´s the better way for sure, but they were so good...

Unfortunately, by leaving your strings on for so long, you have damaged your guitar beyond economic repair.
If you send it to me I will dispose of it for you, free of charge.

I hope your G string doesn't dig in.

That would be a tragedy

I hope your G string doesn't dig in.

A nasty business!!!




We're not helping really are we?


It surely doesn't happen on my SS

Painful

My AL does this slightly on the low E string - but it doesn't seem to bind the string or anything, so I don't care. I think it's a minor design flaw which has since been rectified (I'm sure I saw a thread on this before).

yeh the low e on my jp6 slightly touches in between the nut and the tuner
hasnt caused me any problems

i remember there were some threads about this a while ago

but i never saw the high strings doing it
and especially digging such a groove in like that!
