I thought it was weird that the first string came off the fingerboard while playing at times ,this seems to be a common problem with the RK's,the nut notch for the first string is too close to the edge,take a look at your banjo ,youll see.Anybody else having this problem? This should be a warranty issue ,dont you think?I really dont want to ship out my RK 35 ,but I think this is a flaw they should fix.Any comments?

	Banjophobic says: 4/15/2013 2:52:16 PM Fill in the slot(s) that need re alignent with super glue and some baking soda. Once it sets up file off the excess and then re-cut the slot..voila, its fixed. This will save you the $$ of a new nut. If you dont want to try it, any good repairman can for cheap.
	Dustyman says: 4/15/2013 6:26:02 PM Banjophonic Thanks for the tip, I just might give that a go,what tool do you suggest using to cut the new slot,should I make a paste out of the glue-soda mix, then fill old slot ?That crazy glue dries pretty fast
