Looks like the saddle mounts (on the bridge) for those two strings are a bit off.

I’d take it to your local guitar tech and have them sort it out properly

Cheers. I might see if I can unscrew them first and see if that helps

Edit - bit better but some frets are dead

I’d advise against unscrewing them completely.

Your string height is too low. Have the guitar tech have a look at it. Should be pretty standard stuff for them.

I also like 9 gauge and don’t like 10

Hmm me want

Its the Fender Player Plus HSS.

I feel like taking a hammer to the fucking thing at this moment!

Something isnt right as a lot are dead.
I think ill take them right back then move them up 1 by 1
Thanks

Put the hammer down and slowly back away!

Mate just take it to a guitar tech, they’ll sort it out in no time

Yeah but its my luck ive changed strings and now it will cost me £30-£40 to put right!
Ahhhhhh

It happens, I’ve done it before. I used to be quite good at string changing on floyd roses.

Now I just slap on Elixir Nanowebs and they last for literally years for me

Got a similar issue on my Tele. Overnight I’ve got a few dead frets. Was going to do some measuring when I get the chance. See if it’s a high fret or something else.

Weather related changes maybe? Sounds like you need a truss rod adjustment

Quite possibly/ probably. The wasted hours watching luthiers on YouTube might have some real some benefits after all! I suspect uneven frets to be honest but a proper set up might still be in order.

I’d just like to see if I can figure out the problem myself and then decide whether that means paying for a set up etc. Not many luthiers in my immediate vicinity sadly.

What you can call ‘hands of dedication’… Anyone hazard a guess.?

Just be very careful with a truss rod or you can crack your fretboard

His fingers are thicker than my dick haha

I have a guy I use but hes very busy.
Hes had my Harley Benton for 2 weeks now and hes only changing the pick ups.

Johnny Depp once said he based his Pirates of the Carribean persona on Keith Richards…

I believe it. That’s exactly how Richards sounds…slurred

Hmm yeah. Only measuring stuff to start. Neck relief, relative fret height, string heights and radius Vs fretboard etc.
