"Okay before we set, start adjusting this nut, we had determined that the nut itself is a little high. In order to work on the nut without harming the strings, I'm going to remove the strings one more time so that I have full access to this nut. And what I want to do is I just want to make sure that the strings themselves don't sit so deeply in those slots, that they can bind. So once again, now that we've got this issue, we're going to be working here. And in order to get access to that, I'm just going to take it down. Take the strings off so that I can get clean access to the full size of the full nut, because we're going to have to sand it or file it."
