Question

Dead Spot on my RG


I recently got the action lowered and the bridge reset for 10 gauge strings on my RG370DX and it plays awesome now, but the other day I was just kind of running the chromatic scale up all the strings and I found a kind of "dead spot" on the 16th fret on the top E string. When I hit that spot normally, it makes a super jangly sound and the pitch of the note is above the note below it but lower than the note it should be. If I hold down on that spot really hard then I can get the full note but it'll still be very jangly. I checked every other spot on the guitar and everywhere else plays just fine so I was just wondering if anyone knew why it's doing that. It's not a super big deal since I've not yet run into a situation where I play that particular note in that particular spot but you never really know.

Re: Dead Spot on my RG


Sounds like that end of that fret may be loose. If so, run some thin superglue under it and clamp it down until the glue sets, and it should be fine.
