I lowered the action on the new Peavey and the G string went dead when I fret at the 12th thru 22nd. By dead I mean the sustain is less than the other strings and has somewhat of a thunk sound (hey, it's the best way I can describe it).

I'm going to head out shortly and get new strings, but I wouldn't think that would be the problem.

Maybe I need to get that file that Spud keeps mentioning.
