I have had this issue on a couple of my acoustics with pick-ups. Did this repair on my J45 last night. Picked up a 1/4" wooded rod cost me 73 cents at the hardware.

I use to have this issue with my Seagull cut-away. I finally took it to someone.

The Seagull didn't give me enough room for a washer. It was a real pain for a long time, had I known this I could have fixed it literally years before I did. I even lost the nut on the outside at some point.

Both my new Gibson and my Epiphone AJ-45 had this issue. I expect it's a one time thing with both them. I think they have both dried enough it won't happen again.
