I’ve tried tuning the guitar, but the first fret keeps coming out of tune. What should I do?Updated 2 days ago

If your guitar sounds out of tune when you play notes on the first fret, the issue may be related to the grooves in the guitar's nut. 🎸

🛠️ A quick fix for adults

This adjustment should only be performed by an adult who is comfortable making small modifications to a guitar. If you're not sure, don't worry—our Customer Support team can help!

Using a small file, carefully deepen the groove in the nut a little at a time. Go slowly and check the tuning as you make small adjustments. You only need to remove a tiny amount of material.

⚠️ Please do not let children attempt this adjustment. A knife or other sharp tool can cause injury, so we recommend using a small, appropriate file instead.

If you're unsure about making this adjustment or have any questions, please contact our Customer Support team through this link. We're happy to help! 😊🎸
