Members ert Posted November 17, 2006 Members Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have a vintage g400 and i find that anything more than the slightest pressure on the strings puts my guitar noticeably out of tune even if it is tuned perfectly open. Is there a way that this can be fixed? I am using fairly heavy strings (12-52 i think) and this is really annoying me. Any solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would always throw it out of tune on the lower frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zakian Posted November 17, 2006 Members Share Posted November 17, 2006 Take it to a Tech and see if you have a "twisted" neck. If you do, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ert Posted November 17, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2006 To be honest, it feels like the frets are really high because it seems like the notes are sharper than they should be. I can make an a on second fret g string so sharp it hurts, but the string is in tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members warriorpoet Posted November 18, 2006 Members Share Posted November 18, 2006 Originally posted by ert why? Inexperienced electric players, or those who play a lot of acoustic, tend to fret too hard, causing tuning problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ert Posted November 18, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 18, 2006 i realize that but i am wondering if this problem is more pronounced on my guitar than others. light pressure buzzes too much and i dont think it is because i havent played for long... it doesnt do it for me on other guitars.
