Only for you 60's guy, only for you.

That's untrue.

Nah, nothing more until I've fixed it. I've got some free time in 2 more weeks. (y)

I don't get the sense that the fundamental fades as such. It appears to fade because once struck the 796hz problem quickly (basically immediately) starts to join it/ almost take over and they both ring together. Doesn't do it at the 2nd fret, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th etc. These frets produce a nice...

It's not normal if it...happens too much. If it happens too much it's a problem. I get that you're saying small doses might be normal and yes I'd say they are too. But what I have is abnormal not normal. And no, it's not fret buzz and never has been to my ears and yes you're right...the actual...

Not sure you're hearing what's obviously there. As stated many times, it aint the mic. What's on the clips is how the naked ear hears it. Microphone just faithfully captures what is there for the ear to hear. Your ears might be different or you're not hearing it for whatever reason. But the...

Right. Saddle is what I think. I should add to what I wrote a post ago...I'm not absolutely ruling out frets. I'll need to be comprehensive in assessing things. But this is an advancement on everything I've thought because the absolute worst example of the problem I've got is that 1st fret B...

I disagree that it is natural and what a guitar does. There is a fault here. This isn't normal. The other strings were muted. There was no sympathetic ringing of the open G since there was no open G in the picture. All other strings were muted and only the note played is what is heard. I think...

Here's a couple of files. To keep it very simple I struck a single note...the C, 1st fret B string. I did this because over time I have narrowed the problem down to this note as the main offender. Not the only offender...but the main offender. For example, the C# note, 2nd fret B string has no...

Obviously there'll be no time frame guarantees or timelines. It'll get done when it gets done I'm afraid to say. Clips I can post up maybe this weekend. Humidity...my area is pretty temperate there's not outrageous extremes. Cased sure, along with humidity packs for soaking up whatever summer...

Yes. I get that. I started the thread around a year ago. In that time I've only had a handful of opportunities to sit down and focus on the problem in peace. And in that time my understanding of the problem has changed etc. I'm not gonna start tinkering until I'm ready and it's a good thing I...

I don't think so. I've innocently, and with civility discussed issues with a guitar. And have remained civil at all times. That's not a side. That's discussing things on an internet forum. It would only be by sleight of hand I should be deemed to belong to a "side" or to one corner of some kind...

There's no sides. There's just me, when I have a moment to think about it, trying to work out what's going on. To start with I don't think I had as fair appraisal as I have now. So it has taken me time to even remotely diagnose the nature of the problem. As new things came to light I made...

I've bit my tongue 60's guy all this time but what's your problem? You sound almost enraged. Certainly hostile vibes coming from your posts. I'm not under oath here mate. I'm not under sworn deposition. This is a discussion forum. In the past I thought this, now I think that. I'm not sure. It's...

Thanks, yeah interesting. He's trying to describe what he's hearing but as some people say in that little thread...it's hard to describe. Several people are talking about wolf notes...their descriptions of what they are doesn't add up to what I am getting or what that fella is trying to...

Yep, good summary I think. I think it's the saddle...there's something off there with the saddle. The neck was a little up bowed so I thought that might be part of the problem but adjusting the trussrod and straightening it didn't help. There's also no frets touching that B string when fretted...

Yeah I know. But I'll do it myself. A good tech here will gouge me like you wouldn't believe. Absolute robbers. Anyway, I won't go on and on about it. The thread has served its purpose and I've got a basic approach worked out. Thanks everyone

Update...even diagnosing this thing is difficult for a low IQ fella like me. But I think I've narrowed things even further. The absolute worst manifestation of this problem can be heard when the B string is fretted at the 1st fret. So just plucking that note...that's a C...B string at 1st...

Yeah I can. Kind of busy with other work related stuff right now. So I might be a random while. The kind of sound you're describing isn't what I'm on about. No worries though. I'll be back when I have time. Thanks Drew.

Get the Gold one. That's the one I got years ago. I recorded a singer with it 15 years ago and he said it was the best he's ever sounded.
