I'm putting on new strings and my fuckin d string sounds fucked up. yes I've checked where it's connected at the bridge etc. everything looks fine, but it sounds like this:https://voca.ro/1mUINXnvuSegwhat is going on? is it the string gauge? I can't remember if I had 9s or 10s on this one.
>>122898225Is it in the nut properly?Is it on the bridge properly?
>>122898246great question, anon! let's investigate.
>>122898296OkayHow about the nutIs your neck warped?How's your action?Is your D in a string tree if you guitar has one?Did you string up properly in the first place?

>>122898459>Is your neck warped?I fucking hope not. I don't have the money to fix that.

>>122898969Let's lower it
>>122898225is there a nick in the string somewhere?
>>122899025well it's almost midnight now I'm going to bed
That's pretty foul. You could have gotten a strong with a bad wrap/core, or other manufacturing defect that may not be visible. I buy strings in bulk, and I once got an entire package of bad A strings. I restrung three guitars at once, and none of them would intonate properly anywhere on the A string. I had some spares left over from previously used sets of strings, so I swapped them out, and everything was fine.Try another D string, see if the problem goes away. Sometimes you just get a bad one.
