Anyways, I want to fill in that hole that the screw is loose in, what should I use? I the only thing that I can think of that we have handy is wood glue. I just want to fill the hole so the screw can go in tightly, would wood glue work for that?]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight was the second time my G-string snapped when I was tuning my acoustic a half step down. The first time it was a pretty new Elixir string. What is wrong? is there something wrong with my guitar? Or do I leave it in standard for too long? My Elixir string I didn't have in standard for a long time though. Any advice please.<br><br><br>I'd like to also add that it is the same one that the tuning key is loose on and will move and lose the screw without a string on, would this affect that?]]></content:encoded>
