My 000-2h has a wolf note on the open G string and also D string- fifth fret (also G). Iv'e searched and read many articles about how to deal with it. I've been putting a dot of poster putty on the top after moving my fingers around to touch and isolate the spot where the sound improves while playing the string. Then moved the putty to the underside of the top in the same place. It helps some but doesn't stop the notes from sounding dead. Now my OM-3 is doing it. I helped it with some bone pins to replace the ebony. This just started on the OM-3.

The 000-2H is from 2005 and a recent acquisition. The OM has been with me for a while. No changes in my environment and all guitars have Humidipacks properly placed hear round.

Suggestions welcomed.

Enjoy your Memorial Day,
Harmon

Could humidity have something to do with this? Are they evolving issues?

Could the neck use a little adjusting maybe? Or how about a new set of strings?

It just got a new bone saddle and nut, fresh strings, relief adjusted, etc.

Humidity in the house is 45-49 % most days and I keep humidipacks in the sound hole and beneath the headstock. It seems to go from somewhat noticeable to very much on different days.

Did the problem perchance begin after this work?

It was there before the nut and saddle.
