iT WOULD BE EASY TO BLAME THE GUITAR BUT sOME OF MY FELLOW MUSIANS HAVE TRIED IT WITH THERE GUITAR ANS SAME THING.. MOST PRO-NOUNCED ON THE HIGHEST STRINGS.. ALL THE STRINGS HAVE THE SAME VOLUME OR DYNAMICS. WHETHER I PLAY MY 335 OR MY SOUTHWESTERN. ACOUSTIC. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO ME AS I BUSK SOLO.
