    High E string slipping on EBMM

    Anybody ever have their high E string slip and get hung up on the neck of an EBMM Axis while playing? I have had the guitar for a year now, but this just started happening. Appreciate any tips.

      Just jammin a bit and I thought I had broken the high E string. Upon further review, the string got hung up on the side of the neck. I gave it some slack/retuned and it was good for a few weeks until it happened again.

        I'm guessing it doesn't have a locking nut ??

        I'm guessing because you didn't give me specific details...


        Hey, I'm a smartass, but I'm also knowledgable with guitars...

            So, it does have a locking nut...

            Hmmm...

            Slightly loosen the neck retaining screws (SLIGHTLY) and move the neck in the neck pocket so there is a little more distance from the high E string and the edge of the fretboard...


            Walla!

              Then re-tighten...

              But NOT SUPER TIGHT!

              A guitar is not an engine block!

                I will make sure to try this procedure prior to comsuming mass quantities over the Holiday.

                Much appreciated!

                          I learned that the hard way on a 1986 Japanese Strat that I tried to operate on while under the influence.
