Is this a new issue since a string change or has the guitar always been this way?
Yes, always been this way.

Yes I’m using 14

An old problem Iâ€™m trying to solve again:

On my Mci s10 (Emmons setup) the C pedal raises strings 4 and 5 a whole tone. Problem is that I can never get a full tone raise on the fourth strin ...

Beautiful.. also an excellent steel, above orchestra. A must watch.

Hi
No way I'm finding a proper steel amp in this part of the world, and shipping is expensive when it comes to amps.

Good Job Andras! Smile

Henry, yes the rest of the reality is not as muddy as my steel sound.. Smile

I measured the pickup and it gave me 17.24K.
Is it still in the right zone?

Thanks Jerry, I haven't yet got the meter, hope I'll get it soon.

Thanks Lane and George, I'll try to get the ohm measured first then we'll see.

I kinda think it is the pickup that has lost its mojo/highs.
I heard the E-66 are supposed to have a bright tone especially, is that true?
Is there a way to check a pickup other than plugging it int ...

Erv, These are the previous string set.
Of course, I have checked the bright knob, Tom.

Thanks to everyone who replied!
It seem like it can be one of the options you've suggested or a combinations of a few.
I'll have to redo the soldering of the pickup, because it doesn't look as good ...

Howard, I've changed strings about a month ago. The problem started while the strings where new.

Thanks Lane. I have tried different cables.
What should I look for on the soldering, just if everything is connected or more than that?

Hi
