there will be finish damage under the sticker. it will be discolored depending how long the stickers were on. adhesives react with finshes in nasty ways.

This appears to me that the origin of the buzzing is the nut... Please correct me if you think i'm wrong.
As you can see it's only a cheap plastic nut.
I'd prefer to fix this myself as cheaply as possible but because this is a guitar i like, I want a long-term solution.

Is a repair feasible ? Or is more information needed ? I have no nut files or specialist tools.
Would a replacement nut be the better option, and if so, what material ?...tusq.. bone.. something else ? pre-fabricated ?
Also, how so i get the Milli Vanilli stickers off my guitar ?? :wink:
