Thanks, I will try that

Yes all very good points. I tend to pick pretty hard. Thanks for the info. I will try some different things maybe change string gauge. Thanks

Maybe my action is too low. I was under the impression that the action on this model can be almost touching the fretboard

open strings and fretted notes 9 gauge strings

It is resting on the zero fret. I call the string guide a nut. sorry for the confusion
