'Twangy' 2nd String...

[orbital]

Cheers for the tips Mickeyz,
Will try the foil one later today as a temporary measure,see if it helps. Otherwise Dave King is gonna give my MMB a once over next week.
The biscuit moved during transit so that the saddle was touching the coverplate on the low side. I've since realigned it under MM's guidance and have had to do it again since then,as it pulled back into same position.
Will have more peace of mind letting an expert check it over.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your input.
I'm using Newtone MM pb .015-.056. Taking the guitar to Dave King next week for a check over.
If it isn't the nut slot or saddle,maybe I should try a .018 on 2nd string.
Also starting to understand why people have different guitars and keep them in certain tunings.
Most of the fingerstyle stuff I've been learning this year has been in standard so has been good to hear that on my MMB,but think I need another guitar,then maybe another!..I haven't really delved into open g yet either...
Cheers!

I've had the same problem on an NRP tricone  and solved it by using a .018. I now always specify .018 as opposed to .017 when ordering from Newtone. Anyway if your taking it to Dave King the problem will be solved.

Hi Graeme,
Gonna order a custom set of Newtones MM pb so will get couple of those .018's.
Cheers all for the advice on this thread!
I'm really enjoying all this learning around all aspects of resonator guitars.
