I have a US Highway one telecaster. FWIW, I'm using ernie ball 10 gauge strings, but have been for a few weeks now and only just noticed this.

It seems to have developed a problem where it will ring out notes I'm not fretting. Seems to happen on the thickest 3 strings. If I am running up a scale for example, when I play a note one of the other top 3 strings will also ring a note which sounds like some sort of augmented harmonics. It only seems to do it from the 12 fret upwards. The further up the neck I go the more noticeable it seems to be.

It seems to be if I play a note on the D string, the A will ring somewhere, if I play a note on the A string, the E will ring somewhere. But it is pretty hard to tell exactly.

Obviously its really off-putting to play a note and then have another (horrible) note ring as well!

Any ideas what causes this or anything I should try to adjust?


I tried to make a video (not easy to balance camera on top of guitar while playing!) although its hard to hear it is noticeable a couple of times.
