I have a squier telecaster (affinity series) and when I do any bending at all on the g-string, the string string pops out of the nut. Is there an easy/inexpensive fix I can do myself to solve this problem? Anybody else have this problem?
Thanks!

my cure for this issue is to take a wound "D" string, ang gently use it to route the "G" space on your nut slightly, as if you were flossing. be very careful not to go too deep.

Did you move string guage up? Maybe go back to 9's which are standard. Possibly the string is wound on the tuning peg the wrong direction and the pull-tension is to a side and not straight from the nut to the tuning peg. Can you add a link to a picture of the problem area?

Allroypa1: Sorry, i don't currently have a camera, but I will try to change string guage. I bought the guitar used and the previous owner said he put extra lights on. Thanks for the tips!
