G String Issue |

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.
