No I am not "going postal."
Last time I changed the strings on my Mainland I noticed that the nut was unglued and I left it that way. I figured the strings would hold the nut in place. But then I had a nagging feeling that it is causing the strings to not consistently ring clearly.
The latter probably caused by my poor technique.
I recall reading on another post about an unglued nut on a Mainland. Is that intentional? Are there pros and cons on this topic? Should I attempt to glue it? A Luthier I know suggested to put a dab of cement in the center only. If it gets in the wrong position then what? Opinions solicited.
