Hello,
As I move up beyond about the 5th fret on the A strings, the string pair starts to sound more and more out of tune with each other, even though they sound perfectly in tune open or on the first few frets. It's quite noticeable by the 12th fret.
The bridge and nut slots seem to be equal. I've tried removing the tailpiece cover and making sure the strings between the bridge and tailpiece are muted in case there was some weird harmonic or something causing it. The frets are fairly new and not chewed up (only a slight sign of wear). The problem is only on the A strings.
I'm using a set of D'Addario EJM75C strings - they are only about 3 weeks old. I'm not entirely sure the problem existed before putting these strings on since I was spending most of my time in first position with the old strings on.
Has anyone ever seen this or know what might be the cause?
Thank you
