whats up guys, this is my first post here and i am very new to guitars so go easy on me. my dad has let me borrow his acoustic for now and i was asking about his stratocaster that he has. he never plays it anymore and said that it has a dead string, so he doesnt like to play it much. he also said that he has taken it to get fixed twice and they said there was nothing they could do. my question is if you guys would know what would cause this and if it truly can not be fixed. i dont know where he took it but i would guess guitar center or somewhere similar. it just seems odd that something like that could render a guitar playless. fyi its a squire strat, and he thought it might be something with the neck. any ideas? thanks in advance. :)
