Pain in my behind..need some help please.

Whats up people? I'm having a little problem with my Ibanez, the high E string sounds like crap comming out of my amp, it makes this weird vibration kinda noise, it doesnt ring out right at all. i know its not my amp cuz my other guitars work find on it and it only does it if im pressing after the 14th fret. and let me add that it only does this when the drive is turned up not in clean. its really hard to explain the noise im sure i can get a sound clip to show u guys if ya need. thanks in advance.

Also check the pickup hieght - it may be that the poles of the pickup are to high and you are starting to saturate the PUP?

You could do it yourself, but if your not to savy with tech work on a guitar, just pay the cash and have a setup done at a guitar shop. You could drive yourself insaine and even screw up your guitar real good if your not carfull. Once you lay out the cash for the setup, look at the diffrences on your guitar once its fixed. Ask the technicain what he did, and take notes...good lesson for a amature at guitar repairs...


heaven on earth...we need it now

I've had that happen with mine before. Just got a bandmate of mine to fix it lol. Don't worry, he fixes guitars on his spare time. He tells me it could be the QUALITY of Ibanez's, he doesn't like em.
