Honeymoon with my first warmoth strat build came to abrupt end. Two days ago noticed, that 3rd string on 14th fret sustains ~ twice shorter, than the other strings. It starts to get worse around 12 fret, gets to worst at 14, and after 15 quickly gets better.
The worst thing, it doesn't seem to be fret leveling or action problem. The guitar was set up by a very good luthier, there's no buzz, no intonation issues, no tuning issues. All plays beautiful, and I didn't notice it for a while. Now, when I heard it, I can not un-hear it.
Luthier advice was to try to experiment with changing the mass of the headstock. Otherwise, this phenomenon, while known, doesn't have a guaranteed fix. It just happens sometimes. :sad1:
