I'm usually the master of weird noise elimination. I've had enough crappy guitars in my hands to know what's wrong just by the sound, but this one is fucking with my head something fierce.
The problem is on the G string. When played, it rattles by the nut. I figured it was some wear in the nut or the clamp so I took the clamp off to check, but neither clamp nor nut show abnormal amounts of wear. Nothing that would cause a buzz.
Now comes the weird part.
When I put the the lock clamp back on I fingertightened it and hit the string. I got no noise. I tightened it a little bit. I got no noise. I tightened it a little bit more, to where I normally tighten it to... and the noise pops up! WTF?
The noise, which is the same sound as a string hitting a high fret, only appears when I tighten the locknut clamp down to a certain point. I can actually play the open G string and turn the noise on and off by tightening and loosening the clamp. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
It only happens on the open G string, and even then I jut don't tighten the clamp as much and it goes away, but it's still bugging the hell out of me. I'd like some theories on wtf is up with my guitar. Maybe the nut's pissed because it thinks I clamp it too tight. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
