Why does my guitar sound bad even when tuned?

If your frets are worn, notes played on those frets will be out of tune. Sometimes frets pop up a bit throwing notes out of pitch at those frets. If you’re noticing notes out of tune throughout the neck it might be time to either have the frets dressed (leveled) or after excessive use, replaced.

How do you remove glued guitar nut?

If you’ve just made a small gap between fingerboard and nut, come around the headstock end and tap (even more gently this time) back in the other direction. Repeat this back and forth tapping until the nut seems loose of the glue that was holding it. Then just grab it with your pincers and pull up.
