There are some good spectrum analyzer apps out there. That would be a great help in isolating the frequency that's bothering you.

Slightly off topic, but maybe relevant. If you listen to "An American Tune" by Paul Simon, it is a very sparse arrangement. However, the bass is a major part of the arrangement. If you listen closely, Bob Cranshaw (I always thought it was Carol Kaye), plays some notes that sound so out of...

That would seem the logical first choice. Did you have your new guitar set up, or play it out of the box? It may also be that your ears are too well tuned to pick up these anomalies that most or us don't hear as prominently.

It is also worth noting that G is the third harmonic of C.

THAT is a really interesting point. I have an Epiphone AJ 100. While it doesn't exhibit OGs problem, it has a natural resonance ~G

Given that you get that sound, even when you finger the G string, it sounds more mechanical than anything. Maybe your truss rod is vibrating?

I don't know what I hate more: Jersey or donuts.

I was really surprised, and very happy with the 0000 steel wool. I tried it on my Epi LP. It took the shine off it, and left a really nice satin sheen that feels great. Still got the Finger Ease coming in, but this is a really nice first start. Thanks

I'm really getting to believe that these posts are really trolls. Ain't not much good goin on here anymore.

You should have screwed your head on before you screwed the pooch. Sucks being you. :RTFM:

I always use 0000. Especially for polishing frets. I should say, though, that my problems are with the back of the neck (I'm sure everyone got that). It's like towing a boat out of the mud: The truck wants to "GO", but the mud says "NO". (That was pretty punny, eh?) I'll see how it goes. We jam...

I know where you're coming from. I have aunts that I like, but I don't like ants. Nonetheless, live and let live. I hate to see anything suffer. I even catch wasps and set them out to the outdoors. And, I don't like bats. But I 'm pretty successful at catching them and setting them free. If...

It has been brutal. Yesterday and today have been gorgeous. I left the windows open last night and woke up to a beautiful 65 degrees F in the house. It hasn't been under 80 for too long.

I've decided to go with door number 2. I bought a can of Finger Ease. I'll also likely go with the 0000, too. @jimistone I think it right on. @DrewPeterson7, I found that Scotchbrite is WAY to aggressive.

Nah. Good suggestion, but Jack and I have been in too many "sticky" situations already. I am. I think the 110 degree "feels like" temperature the other day may be a contributor. Nonetheless, my bass player and I got together to do some recording, and it was a disaster for me. My American...

I didn't take it as a joke. However, you hereby legally released and remised of any and all liability associated with any adverse consequences, up to and including the cost of new strings, that may, or may, not arise, from a causal relationship from your "joke" suggestion. Sign on the star...

THAT was the stuff KC used! Thanks. I will try that. It was actually my first thought. I have a Strat with a bare neck and it seems much easier to play than my other guitars. Interestingly, my Fender Tele and Gibson LP seem to be the worst offenders. THe Epis and knock-offs are much better...

I never thought I would see "Neumann U87" and "iPhone" used in the same sentence. If you're "preparing" for an upcoming remote project, rent a good recorder. :facepalm:

Has anyone had problems with your hand sticking to the neck? My hand sweats and make it difficult to slide. I remember when I was a teenager my buddy had some kind of spray that would help his hand slide on the neck. Any suggestions?

Screw calibration. That only makes things better! :ROFLMAO:
