Talk about stupid...
New guitar (RainSong CH-PA1100NS), new pickup install (Mi-Si Trio), and first gig last night. It felt like the high E was weak.
I take it apart this morning and see that when I tied down the cable in the guitar as the last action of the install, I must have pulled the Element UST about 1/4" into the guitar body. It amazes me the high E sounded as good as it did and passed my first sound check at my bench after install. It also amazes me I did not check the UST placement before stringing up when I did the install.
Well at least it was an easy fix. And even the guy I play with did not feel he could confirm my complaint, so no great loss. Sounds great this morning...
