Guitarlife Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I have the same issue on a new j45 50s model. it has a metalic ring on the open b string. I tried to get my daughter to hear it but she cant but it is annoying to me. The guitar is new and has not been setup other than sweetwater so i am following this.

Could be interesting to actually hear these rings - both yours and the original poster's. Wonder if they are recordable. . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitarlife Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I checked the tightness of the key screws all good. It has the be something with the nut. I am going to get it professionally set up and try some of the strings suggested on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have u used a small fret rocker? You could have one lone fret a fraction of an inch too high. Turning the truss rod nut costs nothing, checking the frets costs nothing. It only happens on an open string. If what you are saying was correct wouldn't it get worse when a note was depressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I'd switch out the saddle - compensated VS non-compensated. As far as you hearing it and your daughter not - we all have slightly different hearing. Highs, Lows, Middles. Did you have her hold the guitar and pluck the B string, while you sat in front of it ?

Guitarlife Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Update. I had the J45 professionally set up and it is fixed. He said the slot in the nut was too tight. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
