With any luck a tweak of the truss rod can help but you may need a full re-fret and set up. The same symptoms can occur if your fingering's inaccurate muffling (or more correctly "muthling") the strings. I have to say it sounds pretty bad if she's not allowed home because of it. *Be very careful not to take it to a loofah. |
