![]() ![]() A wolf note is almost the exact opposite of a dead fret, expanding the overtone frequencies of a note, and making the note louder. Of course, this can also go the other way, in the form of wolf notes. When it comes to maintaining your guitar, a dead fret caused by sympathetic resonance occurs when you play a note and another part of the guitar vibrates at the same frequency, absorbing the energy of the note, forcing the note to decay rapidly. Sympathetic resonance can be extremely powerful and even has to be factored into the design of buildings. ![]() If for example, you have two tuning forks and strike one of them, the other tuning fork (being sympathetic to the same frequency) will also begin to vibrate. What this means is that the second object responds to the first object and vibrates at the same frequency. Sympathetic resonance occurs when something vibrates and something nearby vibrates in response due to being ‘sympathetic’ to the same frequency. Resonant Dead Frets Sympathetic Resonance Another cause can be the guitar dampening specific frequencies (sympathetic resonance) which can be fixed (in some cases) by applying weight to the headstock ultimately changing the way the neck vibrates. Including uneven or loose frets or insufficient neck relief. In the following article, we’ll discuss the most common causes of dead frets and show you how to identify them.ĭead frets can have numerous causes. Fear not, however, dead frets can almost always be resurrected. a ‘dead’ note that can’t be heard when the note is fretted, decays rapidly or you hear a buzzing sound, chances are you have a dead fret. If you are hearing dead spots on your guitar neck e.g. ![]()
