Hey guys, I'm having a serious problem with my guitar's strings. I changed them recently due to one breaking and I messed with the bridge and stuff while taking them off. When I changed them, the 2,3,4, and 5 strings will not play the note after the 7th fret or so. I tried adjusting the bridge to see if that was the problem but to no avail. So now I come to the resident guitar players here for help. If you have any idea what the problem is, please let me know as I am getting a serious headache from this shit. Thanks a lot guys.

go to a music shop and get it re-done, they should do it for free.

It's so easy to adjust it, you're just doing it wrong.

Why didn't you just restring the string that broke only?

I would have just done that but i noticed the pickup lost a screw as well so I messed around with that, too. Do you think the would fix that too if I brought it in for restringing
or would I be s.o.l. there?

No, that costs money seeing as you  ed with it even more. How the hell do you mess something up so bad? |

It sounds like your action is too low. Raise your strings up some, and it should solve the problem.

That reminds me of when I bought my bass. I was having HORRIBLE fret buzz before I got it set up. But they raised the strings.
