here.
One thing i think we all missed on his question is that,
how do we know,when he puts his strings on that hes,
useing the correct wrap on the tuneing keys.
The Gibson co. in kalamazoo mich. <-were they were made
first.
used to have one of the best ways to wrap the the strings,
around the tuning keys.I think you can find how to do,
thier wrap on the web,i'm sure i seen it up here!
I aso think 1 inch would be quite enough to pull the string,
up when checking the nut problem.
But don't let it pop back against the fret-board.
Another thing about (useing a Lubricant in the slots,
of the nut you can use Vaseline Petroleum jelly in the slots.
This is recemended by alot Guitar shops in nashville tenn,
that i;ve been too thro the years.
Its very inexpensive and easy to obtain.
Another thing its used on almost all guitars that use a,
b-bender setup because the string can saw into the nut,
plus make some sawing type sounds if not used.

P:S if you do apply the vaseline make sure you use,
a very very small amount like on the tip of a pen.
Another thing if the correct wrap is not used on,
the tuneing keys the strings will go out of tune alot.
