hhnice!
Hey everyone,
Thought I'd throw this out here in case anyone has experienced it before or has suggestions.
Yesterday I replaced the strings on my PRS SvN to a much heavier gauge as I wanted to tune to G Standard. I had a Rotosound R10-8 Roto Yellow set and I ditched the 64.
The problem I'm having is the low 74 is extremely muffled sounding, as if I'm very lightly palm muting it. I borrowed a nut file and gently filed the nut out to fit a 75, muffling still there. I then removed the bridge saddle and tried filing that too as I noticed it wasn't seated properly, muffling still there. I even opened another packet and tried changing the 74 out incase I had a dead string, muffling still there.
Am I missing something painfully obvious here? I've checked the action and the height seems fine, it's not buzzing against the fretboard. Another thing to note is I had to unwrap the outer winding of the string to fit through the tuner, not sure if that has any impact?
