Gimar -> RE: Howling wolf note on high E (Aug. 29 2012 19:45:12)
|
I have also experienced this problem on 1 of my first steelstring guitars, what I did was changing the mass on the top by removing a very tiny ammount of wood from the braces. This didn't eliminate the problem completely, but if got much les snmoticable. I noticed that the wolf tone I experienced was the same pitch as the pitch the top was tuned to. Can you tell us how this is in your case?? I did some research back then, and alot of people sayd there isnt much that can be done to fix it, in some cases the problem solves itself once the guitar starts to settle in, others spoke of working the bracecs or thickness of the top, or even gluing patches of wood inside the top to eliminate wolf tones. I remember searching for some articles that would tell how to determine where to glue those patches but I haven't found anything back then. so If you happen to find something please post [;)] If I were you in this case I would finish the guitar, play it for a while and see what happends, if nothing changes you can still try any of the above mentioned methods. also curious to hear the opinions from other luthiers
