Hi

I'm a total newb to all this, and have been searching with no luck, so here goes

I installed a gk3 pu on a strat and with the gr 55  mostly everything is working well and as expected, except that from time to time (and not too often), I'll play a note and it isn't heard??when it happens, I try to repeat  what I was plaing and the problems never happens twice in a row, just randomly!?

Any thoughts?

Is it the same string or different strings this happens on. Try adjusting the string sensitivity and cleaning the GK 13 pin cable ends with De-oxit. AND, read thru this section >>> https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?topic=4006.0 . You will likely find the answers here and many more answers to other questions or problems your likely to have. A must read for anyone new to the GR-55.

It's any string randomly and I've only had the GR for a few days

I have read that whole section, but found nothing addressing my problem (or perhaps I missed it)

thanks for the reply

it may be in your low velocity setting.

Did you do the whole GK-Set setup, with string sensitivities, scale length, PU to bridge distances,
as well as the Play Feel, Nuance, and as Jim mentioned, the Low Velocity cut-off.

Did not check/change anything to do with nuance jus yet and I did the entire setup as per instructions and some of the videos here, but probably do need to tweak a few things.

I play with very low string heights. The pu would not fit under the strings so I removed the neck (to shim). I decided to install a new compound radius neck and  while the action is much higher than I am used to, I have a few buzzing frets that might be adding to my problem.

I will fix all this and re-check. (Once I decide that I can put the guitar down for long enough)  .Too much fun!!

thanks for the replies...

The GR55 user setup is not complete until you have read and applied the settings described in the GR-55 Setup docs that can be downloaded here:
