I hadn't thought of that - Worth a shot!

Here you go. Posted here.

I'll try lowering the pickups, but I'm also concerned that this may not be a set-up issue. If not a set-up issue, do you have any ideas about what else may be causing the problem? Are you also hearing multiple simultaneous pitches or dissonant overtones in the recordings I posted? I just want to make sure that my written description isn't misleading.

So what do you think would be the best way to correct it? The action is already fairly high - Should I raise it a bit more? Or is there another adjustment or solution that I should consider?

While using some alternate tunings and playing single notes on my new Variax Standard, dissonant sounds can be heard in a recording (direct into USB interface). What are these sounds? Is there a way to eliminate them? I've attached 2 files. The first file is an example of the problem that I've just described. The second file is an example of a single note with a strange artifact. The artifact heard probably just comes with the territory when using a modeled alternate tuning, but I've included it in case it doesn't and it provides any insight into the primary problem. I'm using the modeled baritone tuning. GhostNotes.mp3 VariaxArtifact.mp3
