Due to the fact that I have never EVER adjusted the truss rod on my guitar's neck, EVER, and the fact that I have often switched between using .8s and .11s, a piece of the nut has broken off not only insuring that it won't stay in tune, but also making the low e string shift out of place. FUX. Looks like i'll DEFINITELY be picking up an Ibanez after Christmas. =p
