the 13th fret on my 12 string acoustic is dead, but only on the thin e string. can anyone suggest what is wrong with it. thanx

what you mean "dead"? is it lose?

no, not that, when you play on the 13th the sound is dead, well it actually sounds the 14th fret instead, so the f on the 13th isnt there, you get a muffled f#, then the proper f# on the 14th

If you're hearing the 14th at the 13th doesn't that tell you either the 13th is too low or the 14th is too high?

yeah, i hate it because ive had the guitar less than year, and i love to play it, but that 13th fret, is an arse.
