Here is my problem. When I got the guitar several strings were broken, so I went out and bought a new set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky's because he is only 9 and I wanted something that is easy on the fingers (and cheap too!).

When I pick the open A string it rubs on the first fret. I have raised the action at the bridge as high as it can go but it still buzzes. All the other strings work great. It looks like the slot on the nut is a little deeper than the others. Anyone have any ideas on how to raise the string at the nut without replacing the nut?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance chalkoutline https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/a-string-buzz-at-first-fret/#post-13908
