I own a Guild D-4.

I use Martin Medium gauge strings.

Every six months or so I need to readjust the neck.

It pulls out making the action to hard for me to play.

The nut seems to be starting to cut into the wood a slight bit.

Is it normal for this kind of ferquent adjustment ?

Should I place a washer before the nut to help stop the cutting of the wood ?

Anything else I should know about acoustic care & maintenance ?

Hi,
Seasonal neck adjustments are quite normal for a guitar.
Having to adjust your neck twice a year is nothing to worry about.

Take care,
Tony
