Problem with my mh400nt
He didnt warn me about anything, like he never said if i do this u wont be able to go up. They are decent over there though so I guess ill see what he says, thanks
what probably happened is that the slot in the nut for the G string was sanded down quite a bit. While this probably worked just fine for the larger gauge strings you had while playing in Drop B, if you're playing in a higher tuning with smaller gauge strings, the string will sit down lower and cause excess buzzing. This is NOT the guitar techs fault. He set it up properly to be played in DROP B. There are 4 things you can do to fix this: 1, raise your action up real high, 2. Put a shim under the nut, 3, replace the nut, 4, play with the heavier gauge strings in the higher tuning
d_byrne23, unfortunately the technician is not responsible. Although he was wrong to assume that you knew he would file the nut down (which of course would happen when you use such heavy strings), it would be difficult to blame him for doing it. Anytime you make modifications to the guitar there will be consequences, so just be aware of them. A new Earvana will cost maybe 30-40 USD I think.
Boy am I frustrated, the initial setup job was horrible, ive had $300 ibanez guitars sound buzz free set up from a friend, but i thought since the mh400 was fairly pricey I wanted a professional to do it.
I went in today and bought the exact same gauge strings (12-56), i simply couldnt get it, I messed around with the bridge height, but either way you look at it, the string, absolutely lays on the first piece of fretwire, Im not a guitar tech, but I dont think this was done properly at all, it makes me want to never play this guitar again, and sad part is the guitar is pretty decent..I have to wait til hes in tomorrow, frustrating..man
bring it in for a nut replacement
