NasalFloss Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I treated myself to a Sire V7 (which is amazing by the way) from Thomann and picked it up from today. However when the E is played there is an echo-like sound coming from it. It does not matter if the string is fretted or not and does not decrease in intensity regardless of where I play on the neck. Anyone have any ideas what the problem is or are there any known issues with Sire V7s? I'm still using the factory strings btw and nothing has been altered on the guitar. It's as it came from the factory. Thanks in advance 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddycall Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Is it the same with the other strings muted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddycall Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 What are you playing it through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonse Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I've had a similar sound when playing with a fresh set of daddario chromes. Went away as the strings settled in. I've experienced this with 4 sets of the same string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Try taking the string off and putting it on again making sure to push it down so it bends over the bridge nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveFry Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Check pickup height . If the clearance is too small it can produce a sound a bit like a chorus effect . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 A loose tuning key? Hold the E tuning paddle when you play the string, see if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopthebass Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I have had a similar thing going on. Turned out to be a vibrating saddler screw would you believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
