There is (or was) a product called a "FatFinger" that you mounted to the head of the guitar to increase headstock mass, and this often can remedy the dead note issue. It can also just move it to another note/fret, and thus isn't always the best fix.

Doesn't that just increase the sustain for an electric? I don't think it would change the Helmholtz resonance since that's mostly a function of geometry of the sound cavity and sound hole.
