Hi All,#

I have an odd problem with my Rick at the moment where the A# on the first string just dies. every other fret plays fine but on the first string the first three frets up to that A# have a little rattle then the A# just rattles and dies quickly. no sustain on it at all.

Any suggestions on what this could be?

Has it always done this or is it something new, since you last changed strings for example? Could be a dead spot, but that's something you would probably have noticed before. To eliminate that possibility, try resting the headstock up against something solid like a door frame and then play the A# on the G string. If the dead note goes away (or shifts up a few frets) that would indicate a dead spot. If no change then it's something else.
