    Epiphone Riviera Noel Gallagher semi-hollow body
    My low E and A strings have a splat/pop sound - almost like funk slap. I'm not experienced with tweaking truss rods or other adjustments. Is there something I should be looking at - raising the bridge screws? Change the strings maybe? Any help is appreciated!

    • Sounds like it needs a set up for the type of strings you are using. Find a good tech in your area and have your guitar setup how you prefer it. I would avoid..futurefood
    • I would avoid making truss adjustments or intonation bridge tweaks.futurefood
    • either your action is too low or you need a refret.ok_not_ok
    • Thanks both - I think the action is too low, but only on those strings. Is that a truss rod adjustment in your opinions?stoplying
    • It can be a combination of things. Just use caution, because if you adjust one thing sometimes it affects something else.futurefood
    • I'm afraid the problem is the "Noel Gallagher" partrzu-rzu
