it sounds good(I put them a little higher 'couse I love that "early Ventures" aggressive sound,but if I bend at 15-17 fret a very thin sound comes out from the e string(0.10) ,any suggestion?
it's all new 4 me,comin' from 65 Jaguar&jazzmaster with 0.11 strings.
nice sounding guitar,after 1 hour playing,loose the arm......................................

Could be a high fret..or you may need to raise the bridge just a skosh...ne?

ok,I raised the pickups to a sound I like,,and set the strings too ,but there's a problem with the neck I think.
The e string and b string doesn't sound after the 11 fret if i bend them (they sounds thin not natural there's no string vibration) (I checked it now without the amp),so I think there's something about the truss rod.
I raised 2 turns the bridge ,but still the same.
Gonna ask a liuther in town.
