Newbie here so forgive me if I'm in the wrong forum. I just brought home a beautiful R9 yesterday, fantastic guitar. Played it, both in the shop and at home, with the strings that were on the guitar, no problems. Today, as I usually do with any new guitar, I put my preferred strings, GHS Nickel Rockers, on the guitar. Same gauge as the strings that were on the guitar, which I'm assuming Gibson, and the high E has this piercing ping sound when played, both open and everywhere up the neck. It really isn't a "ping", but that's the best word I can think of to use. Sorta like a real high-pitched piercing tone that is the same note as the fret where it's being fingered. Wasn't there with the original strings. Really don't want to take the guitar back to the shop if it's an easy fix that I could do myself. I'm guessing it has something to do with the saddle since the sound is all over the neck, not just open, which would eliminate a problem with the nut. Full disclosure, this is my first "good" Gibby, I'm a Strat and Tele guy, mainly.
I have no problem with setups on any Fender, but the LP is a whole different animal, obviously. So, before I even start to mess with the guitar, any insight as to what the problem may be, and, is it an easy fix? Or should I just bite the bullet and take it back to the shop?
Thanks for any advice, and, please be gentle.....:dang
