I get this twinkle sound on the G string which really annoys me.
My teacher recommended that I have my guitar setup and have the frets philed, its a Gibson LP new.
Any thoughts, or experience on this?
Ta,
Having fret leveling done, the frets are filed as a whole using a perfectly flat file which gives the frets a consistent height. Attempting to file frets individually will leave you unhappy and no way to gauge your progress. Any loose or sprung frets must be corrected first. Once the tops of the frets are on a level plane, the crown will need to be re-shaped. Crowning is necessary to round the fret over for comfortable playing, but also to insure the position at which the string contacts the fret is dead center. The scratches created by filing and crowning will then need to be polished out.
Having the a fret polishing done can have a profound effect on how the strings feel and playablity also.
Perhasp they can just polish them.
