Hey guys, it's been a long since I wanted to post about this issue I have with one of my guitars (Jackson DKMGT). I'm having a real hard time to press the high E string on the 1st fret with my index (play an F). It's like the string is cutting through my finger. An F chord barré is also quite painful to play.
I can't remember if it's been like this from the start or if the problem appeared after a string change.
- Could it be because I winded more than 3/4 times on the tuning peg? (see picture)
- Could it be because my neck is too curved and I'd need to use the truss-rod a bit?
I want to mention I don't have this problem at all on my other guitars and can play an F on the high E string or F chord without any problem.
Also, I thought that the bridge may be too high on the high strings but after measurements, it's equal on both sides.
