curious if i should try fixing a high fret.....

[gemini8026]

Ive got my guitar here, and theres ONE major bad spot on the neck. Not major but when i hit the note on the low e string on the 7th fret, it just DIES. Hit the 8th fret and thigns are fine. I ran a rocker and yes there is a slight movement. Anyhow, ive never done any fret work before, and i dont wanna mess with the radius or ruin up a perfectly mint and new guitar.

IS there something I should try, or should I take it in and spend the 40$ to fix it.

If in doubt, take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

sorry for reviving a very old thread... I have the same problem but on a different note. My 12th fret B string note just dies prematurely turning into a pinched harmonic. 11th fret, 13th fret are fine. I think even the 24th on B string dies. fretted open, its fine. Any tips? What is that "ran a rocker" ?

Maybe he meant that he laid a straight edge across that area and it rocked on that one fret showing that it was indeed high.

My Model 2 has the same type of issue. Mine will fret out on the B string when I bend a whole note on the 10th fret, so it's hitting the 12th. But there is no other big issues anywhere around it on the fretboard. Any suggestions to remedy this?

Souds like a high fret just level and recrown.

well, I know for sure, I cant do that by myself. So, I just use a compressor/sustainer to boost the sustain. I still have warranty on the guitar so if it bothers me too much, I might just get it fixed by Jackson.
