Thanks for the replies everyone. I should have clarified that I'm sliding the card under the 6th string at the 6th fret.
I was thinking that I needed to crank on the truss rod a bit more,but got concerned when I realized how tight it already was. I will definitely take the nut off and lube the threads.
As for the nut slots,yes I agree they can go a bit deeper. They are fairly deep already however, whether from the factory or previous owner I have no idea. The first fret Barre "F" takes some effort.
I'll check back after tweaking things some more. Thanks again everyone!
