If I read you right, riz, then you're saying there is a problem with G#, irrespective of what tuning you have and where you fret. If so, then you have some interference/cancellation effect. You need to alter the resonant frequency of your instrument and this can be done by changing the mass close to the string path. A heavier bridge "should" work, but the nut is the other obvious place. The nut can be cheaper and easier to replace, if it is a standard type (I'm not familiar with the Maton). I'd go for brass, as this would have the most pronounced density change.
Just fuzzy theory though - can't guarantee it'll solve your problem. |

thanks bass!
at the moment I'm quite busy but as soon as I can I'll take the guitar to some tech to have the nut put in place. I'll try to do the bridge thing as well, because it seems to be really cheap and the grooves in the saddles are being made deeper by the string pressure... (sorry, as always, for the weird english). it's like the bridge-saddle material is too soft compared to the strings' so it's wearing out, and this doesn't sound like quality to me...
I'll post what happens, when everything is done.
thanks for help, have a nice weekend! |

| Yes, keep us up to date on this one, riz. It's very odd; I've only had something like it once myself. |
