Location: Michigan | I played a guitar that seemed to have a problem with sustain when fretting at the first fret on the low E string. It just seems to thump. As I fret up the neck it improves and seems to be normal at about the 3rd fret. Could this be a nut problem? (incorrect angle for the slot, a dead spot under the nut, or perhaps not wide enough groove) I am a bit mystified as the sustain seems good open and fretted at 3 and up. All the other strings seem fine. Any help? |
