I had the nut adjusted just right.  Now after about a year my D string is starting to buzz.  I assume changing strings and tuning the string has worn down that slot.  

My Question:  Any way to raise the nut or just that slot?

Thanks!

There are quick and easy home remedies available, including ones using superglue in single slots, but your best bet may be to see a luthier.  Either way it is a quick and inexpensive thing to do.

The "quickie' way is to use superglue.  a drop or two in the slot and wait an hour.  Then restring.  

I've "repaired" alot of buzzing that way.  The only problem is the repair can fall out.   I've never had it happen to me but it's happened to friends right before a gig.  So i always carry some superglue along with other basics to gigs.

The nut is the least attended to part of the guitar.  And one of the most important for playability.

always have it checked when you can and always get a good set-up whenever you purchase a new guitar.

I've heard of that.  Seems it would be awful easy to get super glue on the fingerboard.  Oh. Tape. Duh.  

Ok, maybe I'll give that a try.  Do you use the Original or Gel?  

I think replacing the nut is the best long term solution. Some guys blow a bit of bone dust into the slot after putting a drop of super glue in there. I think you can buy it or you can just make your own with a piece of bone and some sandpaper.  

I use the original.  just don't get too close for inspection.  Nothing worse than going to the ER with a guitar stuck to your nose.

Well I guess there are worse things........

You can also full the slot with baking soda then a drop of super,less chance of it falling out.
