My Sunburst Peerless Casino has a Bigsby which is very cool! It’s like Paul’s & George’s.

That might help correct any problems caused by the guitar drying out.Congrats! Which one did you get? They really don’t need anything other than new Strings & a good Setup. We don't all have this problem I know but anyone living in a very dry climate or in a home or apartment where the indoor RH can become quite low should consider keeping more RH sensitive guitars well humidified. I normally do but mine had pretty much lost their potency so I ordered new HumidiPaks and my acoustics and my Casino will stay cased with those inside the case for the duration of the winter months. When low RH is an issue I suggest keeping these guitars cased with HumidiPaks to keep the RH in balance. When the radiant heat comes on here and the outdoor RH is in the teens it's in single digits in my place without a humidifier and acoustics and hollow body models seem more prone to a lack of humidity. I do keep my guitars in a humidified room but it's tough in the winter months to even maintain 40% RH some days. The problem seems to be that with many of these guitars now built in China and/or Indonesia where it can be very humid and perhaps the factories are not climate controlled as well as they are in the US problems can happen once the guitar begins living in a much drier climate.

Since it's under warranty Sweetwater is giving me an allowance to get repairs done locally rather than to ship it back which is good since this model is no longer available in the finish I chose but it's pretty significant for a new guitar. The neck and a couple of frets are causing one issue on the low E side and the bridge and movement of the top are creating the issues on the high E side. On Saturday I brought it to a luthier I've used for years. No amount of tweaking the relief or attention to the bridge relieved the problem. A new AJ-220SCE I bought several months ago all of a sudden developed an issue with the high E string fretting out all the way up the neck. The other issue I can easily point to at this time of the year is if you're in a climate with very low humidity and the guitar has dried out some all kinds to weird and strange things can happen until the guitar adapts to it's current environment.įor instance. Could be issues with high frets causing one problem and on the B string check the nut to see if the string is binding there.
