I got trouble

Unread post by Buck » Mon Apr 11, 2005 8:40 pm

I have a Tak eg334sc and when it's pluggged in the G and D strings are almost non existant when played. I put new strings on, and it's still the same . This is most likely an electronics problem, right? If it is why does it only affect the G,D strings? The others sound good. ANy suggestions?

I'm gonna do that, just thought I would get some opinions before getting screwed over.

Is it still under warranty? That should all be covered.

"Takamine - G Series Ltd Lifetime (1997) Electronics and Plating are not covered by warranty", from the Takamine website, I have the same guitar and dont have any problems, yet, good luck though

It's funny how the LIMITED warranty has an exception for the most likely part to break under normal use

what type of pickup? i assume piezo and will guess that one section has been either crushed (very unlikely) or that your bridge has warped ever so slightly and is no longer touching on those strings... check that
