Hexeir Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Gibson repair threw a new nut on my guitar for me as a warranty repair... and ever since, virtually any note I hit causes the strings above the nut to resonate, and I can hear it through the pickups! It sounds horrible. I can put something on the strings (hairband) and it stops... but why is it doing this? Or is the question: Why don't all guitars do this? Help! How can I fix this the RIGHT way?
Thundergod Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Exactly... you have to take it back to them and show them what is happening. They have to fix that.
ChanMan Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 by giving it right back to the people who repaired it. +1 This is the solution. Be prompt... call them and let them know- today. Good luck and let us know what the deal was....
AXE® Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Good O'l Gibson, send it in for one flaw and comes back with another...
Tim Plains Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Sounds like the grooves in the nut are too big for the strings, no? Definitely something I would give back and have them fix again.
AXE® Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 Some resonant objects have more than one resonance frequency, particularly at harmonics (multiples) of the strongest resonance. It will vibrate easily at those frequencies, and less so at other frequencies. It will "pick out" its resonance frequency from a complex excitation, such as an impulse or a wideband noise excitation. In effect, it is filtering out all frequencies other than its resonance. In the example of your guitar, the swing cannot easily be excited by harmonic frequencies, but can be excited by subharmonics. Or something like that.
