I think i will take it to a professional instrument maker and get it looked after. It's a bit expensive but i guesss it's worth the money.

I just wanted to ask any of you if you knew what it might be? As i said the intonation seems perfect. And the guys at the guitar shop also checked the intonation and said that the action and string height looked flawless aswell. And they said it played REALLY good. But it's my good sense of sound that gets annoyed by the slight sharp notes that the G and low E string creates once they are fretted. And it's not only me that senses it. If i for example fret an A note on the second fret on the G string, the tuner tells me that the note is sharp. That is why dropping the tuning a little lower pleases my ears. But if i do that the open note sounds flat ofcourse :( ... I want it fixed. My other cheaper guitars don't got the problem, and this new expensive one does it. It actually pisses my off to be frank....

ANY ideas on what might cause this? :(



Don't know what caused it. But....I had/have a les paul that did the exact same thing on a fret or two on the high E. It bugged me but I just ignored it figuring that no one would really notice when cranked thru an amp. I just kept playing the guitar and it corrected itself. It is my favorite guitar. I'd say just play the **** out of it and re visit it in about a year. I'm guessing it isn't anything serious. Just needs "broken in." guitars are funny- they ALL have little quirks. don't let it ruin the guitar for you. sounds like a nice one. JMTC
