i was over exaggerating regarding the neck, it was more to identify that i was having to push really hard on the strings if i was in the middle of the fret to get the note but that isn't even enough, i have to be right behind the fret on 'G,B,e' strings other wise i cant pull a note, 'Am' for instance, trying to hold the B string is hard due to a finger being on the G at the same point.


i'll replace all the strings in a bit and see if that helps, i'll check the frets as well to make sure thier lvl, and see how that goes.

and yes hunter the strings buzz and feel dead, thier not clear ringing.

ty both for the help i'll keep you updated.

cheers
