Hey everyone, new here. I have a fender strat and a few of the frets when I play one them dont give any sound or they have a "Plink" sound to them. They dont put out the sound they should. Is there any way I can fix this? Thanks for your help.
thanks. I'll be coming back here real soon. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
check the distance of the strings from the fret. if there is no clearance then the string cannot vibrate. it will sound punky.
if this is a new guitar, did the seller give it a proper set up? usually they are free with a sale. and another one is needed , sometimes, after a break in period. (within a year).
I was playing an Epi. LP at Guitar Center once and I was thinking of buying it. But before I buy any guitar, I play every fret on each string, looking for problems. Well this LP had a "dead fret" on the G string at about the 10th fret. It wasn't buzzing or anything, it just wouldn't play. I think the problem was that the fret was loose. It wasn't seated tightly on the fingerboard. The guitar tech said they would have to send it out for repair.
