I need some help. Just as a guitar speaker cab has a resonate frequency, I've been told that a guitar body and/or neck have a resonate frequency. If a fretted note is too close to the body and/or neck's resonate frequency, the fundamental note will die out prematurely and the overtones/harmonics will sustain a bit longer after the fundamental has fully decayed. Often this occurs on the D or G string near the middle of the string's length (12th fret-ish). All other notes in the same area of the neck ring out just fine with clean sustain of the fundamental note.
The two hours of googling I've done on this confirms that many other players have experienced this phenomenon, particularly on Gibson SG models, but no one has offered a fix for it other than clamping something of great mass onto the headstock. Anyone here have a fix for this?
I am dealing with the issue on a 2018 Gibson ES-339, the G note on the G string at the 12th fret dies about 60% faster than any other fretted note in the same area of the neck. I am almost certain this is not a fret, nut, bridge, pickup, amp, etc. issue. I believe this is a resonate frequency issue as best as I can tell. Please tell me how to fix this. Thanks!
