Hi guys. Matt here - I have a les Paul classic and recently restrung it not really knowing what I was doing. I changed the strings but I think I moved the bridge or the saddle nuts or something because now it plays well but at higher frets it makes a twang noise like its hitting extra Frets or something? I've tried raising and lowering the bridge but to no avail. Really stuck here - the noise sounds like a harmonic nearly but only happens when you tap or hammer the string. If you pluck it it isn't so noticeable of at all. Please help!
Are the strings hitting the pickups ? Did you change the gauge of the strings , perhaps ? If the new strings are thinner than the old it may not be pulling the neck quite as hard as the old . Good luck .
If I claim to be a wise man , it surely means that I don't know .
Hi again. Strings aren't hitting the pickups but I DID use a lighter gauge string set than what was on it. The original strings had been on there for more than 3 years but rarely played.
Would you suggest adjusting the truss rod?
