Sugizo_Eclipse Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 (edited) hey i have a small Problem, the high E string is scratching on the frets. This is especially on the Middle Part (7-12th Fret). Shall i change the setting of the neck screw (forgot its english name sorry)? i already tried to change position of the Bridge and the FR (since its a Problem on both of my Guitars :/) but it didnt help...

gripper Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Sorry, I am a real newbie but I say NO!! do not touch the trussrod adjustment to fix one string, the high E in particular. I am a total failure at cutting nuts right the first time, setting up FRs and all things fret but I DO know how to screw up. This is how I would have screwed up: mess with the trussrod. Wait for a better person to respond or (my favorite) put a piece of matchbook cover under the E string at the nut and wait for a better solution.

Primal Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 If the string is "scratching" on the frets, it would seem to me that the fret is rough and needs leveled/polished. Take it to your local guitar shop, they will be able to fix it for ya if you can't figure out what is wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickguard Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Well, we need to know what you're talking about: When you say 'scratching' do you mean that the string is BUZZING (like a bee --which is what I think you mean) or that it really is scratching (like fingernails on a blackboard)? Also, just to clarify --do you mean by High E --the skinniest string or the fattest string? In either case, you should probably take both guitars to a guitar tech and have him fix them for you (and you should watch to see how it's done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugizo_Eclipse Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Yes a buzzing...a high *pling* ...i just had the feeling that the whole neck was too straight. Especially at the ESP LTD KH-202. I think this is cause it was standing without strings (because it took me a bit longer to insert the new PUs) so i guess the neck bended to the headstock direction so like that ")" (damn what a stupid description^^). Well what i will do is take it to the guitar store i bought the old one (with the fixed bridge...they need to build in the new tuners anyway, so i can ask what to do about such a problem in future) but thanks for the answer so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
