I just reciaved my new OU5DL and it is beautiful but, the G string sounds almost like its playing 2 notes. It is mostly when it is played open. Having real hard time tuning but got it a couple times. C E A strings seem fine. Any ideas? :(
 
Is that high 'G' or low 'G'?

either get a new G string or loosen it and re string it again it with th esame one.... Sometimes the nuts on the tuners loosen while being shipped... Re tighten all your tuner parts
 
Yes Zteve, I understood you to mean the 4th string, but I was wondering whether you have it tuned to high 'G' or to low 'G'. If it is a string designed for the high (re-entrant) tuning, and you have it tuned low, it will sound very wrong.

If it is a low string tuned high, then you'd better wear eye protection!

thanks, it was the strings. bought a set of AQUILA and now she sounds as good as she looks!!!!!!
 
That's excellent Zteve! Now, the only way is up.

Happy strumming.
