Hi all, I have an Ibanez S521 Hardtail, and I've recently started noticing it has no sustain on the high e, and I cant figure out what the problem is.
Some facts:
- no sustain, both plugged in and unplugged. It sustains about a third to half as long as the other strings.
- it has problem with sustain both open and fretted, all over the neck, no frets jump out.
- i changed strings twice to try and get rid of the problem
- Checked whether the saddles made good contact, no difference
- held the headstock against the wall (to check for dead spots), no change.
-adjusted pickup height, no change.
I play 9s, tried ernie ball, d'addario and d'addadio EXL.
I had the nut replaced a while back, not sure if it had the problem before that operation, but there does not seem to be any problems with the nut, and there's also no sustain when fretted.
I hope you guys can help me out!
Thanks,
Bart
