mjbindy1 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The high E and A strings, when in open tuning, produce an 'overtone' or a tone that is incorrect and not present in the other strings... I assume it's an issue with the piezo pickup. Has anyone heard this? What can I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceadda Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I was getting ill-effects from the piezo pickups initially - not related to your open tuning issue. It seemed to clear up with more frequent playing. I wondered if there was corrosion on the string, or some mechanical interference or dust where the piezo element sits in its cradle (my term). It was fairly easy to remove the string and the rear panel and gain access to the individual element. Proceed with caution of course! A first simpler step would be replace the strings.
