You will see a small hole recessed into the wood.\u003cbr\u003eFind the Right Tool: Chinese-made CXS Starcasters almost always require a 4mm Allen wrench. Ensure the wrench fits tightly so you don't strip the nut.\u003cbr\u003eThe Golden Rule—Go Slow: Keep the guitar fully tuned to pitch. Insert the wrench and turn it counter-clockwise (lefty-loosey).\u003cbr\u003eOnly do a 1\/4 turn at a time. Never force it if it feels completely locked or stuck.\u003cbr\u003eTest It: Give the neck a few minutes to settle, retune the guitar, and play those frets again. If it still buzzes, give it another 1\/4 turn counter-clockwise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHave a Question?
