My guitar is acting weird, anyone?
    #14651051 -

I have an Art & Lutherie acoustic guitar that I've had for about 7 years and it's been perfect.

Recently I restrung it with these "custom light" strings:

http://www.amazon.com/Elixir-Strings-Acoustic-6-String-NANOWEB/dp/B0002E1O7W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1308713763&sr=8-2

Normally I used regular light of the same brand.

This time while restringing I found out that it doesn't matter if you take all the strings off, so I used this opportunity to spiff up my fretboard, but while I was taking my strings off the nut fell off. I didn't have any glue or anything so I just put it back on and it's being held by the tension of the strings.

The nut looks like it's oriented great, but my guitar keeps going out of tune and, strangely enough, it's usually above where it's supposed to be.

Could this really be the problem? Or is this a bad batch of strings?

This is kind of driving me crazy because my guitar has always been super reliable as far as tuning goes.

Put your old strings back on and find out?  Sorry I'm not much of a musician

It's the nut, but the strings could be the culprit.  Play for a few hours and tune up everytime you hear the bitch go out.  Eventually the strings will stretch out and loose the twang and stay in tune.  If this doesn't happen the problem in the nut, glue it in place.

Your nut should never just fall off.  I don't know what kind of glue they use to glue those things on there, but you can probably do it yourself. If this is a guitar you plan on using on stage or for anything professional, I'd probably go to a guitar repair shop and have them do it to make sure everything is intonated properly.  And since your nut is already off and if you plan on using this gauge of strings permanently you might want to get a whole new nut that is filed to fit those gauge of strings
