Morety Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 In the middle of jamming with some friends, my low e string suddenly started sounding extremely loud compared to the a string. ie when playing blues fifths/sevenths I could barely hear the a string at all. My amp was basically all at 6 o'clock and this hadn't happened before. Seems to be with the neck pickup. Is it normal that the pickup would suddenly need to be lowered, or is it possible this is an electronic problem. I just got my guitar in December (brand new 2021 es 335) so am not sure if I should start playing around with the setup or take it back to the shop and have them look at it?

Morety Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Yes, and the same result, so it is from the guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morety Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Strings were just changed. I can try a new set. I notice that when I pick the e string hard, it makes a static-y noise as well. I am wondering if something went wrong with the pickup? Maybe I'll toss on a new string and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morety Posted April 24, 2022 Author Share Posted April 24, 2022 Just tossed on a new string, that wasn't it 😞 I guess it's off to the shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morety Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Will do, it's in the shop. They initially believe the pickup's too high, so maybe that's all it was. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
