Hello everyone
This is my second set of ernie ball strings ive restrung myself recently, but there is this black thing/dot on my high E string at my 19th fret. If i were to play fret 17 to 21 on the high E, it would be dead/muted. The rest of the frets also doesnt ring out as much as it would be normally.
Im wondering if this is a string defect? Im relatively new into guitar playing, only 4 months since i started, but this is the first time i encountered such a problem. Im wondering if anyone else might have experienced something similar. So I guess i have to replace the individual high E string i guess.
UPDATED:
Nothing wrong with the string, i just accidentally lowered the saddle on the high E string end while cleaning. Raising it back up solved the problem.
Thank you for your time

any muting/ choking-related issues are most likely set-up matters. also, you aren't the only one who bought a fresh set of EBs only to discover some not-so-fresh strings in there.
