Hello folks,
On one of my guitars, (PRS SE Ace) the G string on the 16th fret dies out much quicker than anywhere else, it seems to be holding the note and then it suddenly decays. Is this a job for a tech or is there something I can try? Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE ![]() “Success is not obtained overnight.

Fetched my guitar back today, it has drove the luthier crazy and he cannot fix it. The B on the G string 16th fret is the worst, but every B sustains less than any other note. In the shop today we timed an A and it rang out for 14 seconds through a clean amp, the best B we got was 7 seconds.
He has dressed the frets, he changed the G string, he changed all the strings, he raised the G string well off the frets, he lowered the pickups, he tightened all the screws, he de-tuned the guitar so that the 16th fret G string played an A, it sustained lovely, 18th fret ( ![]() He told me to contact PRS Europe and give them his number to call so that he can explain everything he has tried. Very odd. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE ![]() “Success is not obtained overnight.
