It could be a number of things as you can see. You would need to give more information for anyone to help. Does it sound dead on every fret, or just one fret?

Eagle Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Set your action no lower than about 1.25mm at the 12th fret ,and you can (and should) set the relief (only on moses and fibrosonix ) almost dead straight. If you still have a problem ,is it just on one or two frets or still the whole neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2bflash Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 it does not on every fret' date=' just on 7th fret thin E. [/quote'] Sounds like the 8th fret is high. You would need a straight edge to put on the 8th fret and see if it rocks from the 7th to 9th. The straight edge can only span the 3 fret for it to work. There are special tools to check for high or low frets you can get at guitar repair supply shops. See here: Fret Rocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See here: Fret Rocker Sounds like some minor fretwork needed. A good excuse to get it Pleked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
