    guitar bought new in 2023, strings 10-46 tuned drop-d and headstock locks not tightened for two weeks. I left the guitar on the stand and played the others. The saddle has moved. Soft wood, not seasoned

      That is a thing on pretty much almost all under like 3000 dollar guitars today with maybe a few exceptions. The woods are not dried enough so they tend to find their place in a few first years and what climate they are will affect the speed they dry up. Regarding your nut you can try to move it into its right placeon next string change or take it to your luthier if you have one or just do it yourself if you have some skills or even if you dont you wil get them the more you fiddle with your guitars.

        I fixed it by sealing the holes left by the screws securing the saddle with glue. The holes for the screws were drilled and moved 1mm apart and now everything is even. I do minor luthier work myself. I've been playing guitars for over 25 years, so I've already learned something, I just wanted to show that if the locks are not tightened, they change the tension angle of the strings
