Hi 

I'm guessing the new strings have settled in now as it appears to be all ok now

Thanks  again 

OK thanks for helping  

Hi Mr f

Thanks for that..I am using a brand new marshall code 25 with a compressor pedal before the amp 

When I try learning new licks I notice the 3rd string does not ring clear as others do it just sounds dull not bright

it is in tune as I always check  and the lower fret numbers seem fine its just 14th fret and up(or is that down? To 20th)

I was wondering if I lift the saddle a tiny bit will it make it worse or better

I have a telecaster affinity 

Thanks

Hi I recently purchased a fender affinity telecaster shop display that has been professionally set up

I noticed the g string sounded dull so I changed strings I used fender 10's but alas it still has a dull g string 

I have only been learning since covid started so I am looking for advice please 

Thanks

My guess is that flat wound, heavier gauge strings were more prevalent back then and would typically last longer.

 

Wasn't there also a tendency to boil them to rejuvenate them? Or am I thinking of motor cycle chains?

No you are correct boiling them was a thing back then....shame you couldn't boil the beatles....lol  

Looks ok
