I got something going on wth my Hamer that I can't pin down. The low E string has no attack what so ever. It sounds all round and fat as if you plucked it with your finger instead of the pick. It is not just the open notes, but every fret up the scale has this same dull muted tone. Seems to me that the bridge would be causing this because the fretted notes would then have a sharper attack if it were the bone nut at fault, but I can't find anything wrong with it. I have smoothed the nut slot and bridge saddle with a nut file, but to no avail. The bridge is a brand new nickel Gotoh bridge. Any ideas?
