to paraphrase abba there must indeed be something in the air! (however more guitar relate than 'fernando' who ever that fella is). anywho enough of crazy dutch fellows or whatever abba are. Maybe your theory on the weather could be spookily right! the weather be getting alright in scottyland now and my 5th fret problem has miraculously fixed! and now its just the 21st fret that is the problem, mmm? the fret looks fine though and i do get a note now however but it's a D instead of a C# (if my quick thinking serves me right) the string hits the fret of the 22nd (which looks perfectly normal) instead of the 21st (quite annoying for fret wankery). its bound to just be the string height (is that what you call 'relief', whats 'action' then? maybe if i just leave it until summer the magic power of metorological power shall transmographicate my vibrating device and cure it from its vile wrong-doings........that could just be a longshot though. by the way this emoticon! just think of the example it will set to kids. Smoking, sunglasses, smiling- you will be neither cool nore happy when you die of cancer (you probably will be before that though) to paraphrase abba there must indeed be something in the air!

the guitar is only a year and a bit old and is a epihpone les paul. I don't play the notes significantly more than any other ones so that can't be the reason. the reason why it was only happening on two frets was why i was unsure to wheather or not it was string height, but if its an easy job i might as well give it a wee try an see (this great philosophy of mine is also why most my stuff is broken, my toaster is in pieces and my shelves collapse though!). happy easter to all by the way, hope it twas filled with chocolatly goodness of spherical form and epic proportions!

Hey everyone i was searching through the internet for a more eclectic mix of guitar technicality and stumbled upon this little oasis, so hello to all. I've been playing guitar for some time now but when it comes to maintenence and repairs i am rather inept. Recently my guitar's been givin me jip, when played on the 5th or 21st fret of the high e string the string hits of another fret and so is muted. I presume this is to to with the string height being to low (the action?) on which there is info on the home page ('string height and bridge adjustment'). Is this just something i could do on my own with a screwdriver and a ruler or is it a trickery findangled manouver?
