Ingro Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The high E string ha a very much lower volume than other strings when playing with magnetic pickup. The problem is much more nocticeable when playing clean, with distorsion it compensates somehow. I rarely use magnetics, still I'd like to solve the problem.

silverhead Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 This seems to have nothing to do with the electronics. It can happen with any guitar and I believe it is usually caused by a poor physical contact of the string with either the nut or the saddle. Check both and clean the contact points. It could also simply be the result of old or poor quality strings. Change them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingro Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 Well, they're DR Black Beauties, changed by the luthier couple weeks ago while he was doing the setup. Still, I can change them, no problem. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Since it was so recent I would contact the luthier. Perhaps he/she will take a look and possibly provide a free fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
