Hey, i have an american standard tele and recently the sustain has dropped off it completely, and bending on the higher frets just stops the note dead.

I've altered the action and set the intonation perfect and still no cigar.

Also the neck is also perfectly straight.

what am i missing?

Hi Big The Cat,

Maybe you need just a touch of bow in the neck. Or, maybe loosen the neck screws, then loosen the tilt adjust just a bit and re tighten the neck screws. Generally, the tilt and saddle height affect the neck more on the higher notes (twelfth fret and higher), and the bow will help with the lower notes. Do you have buzzing or rattling on the lower notes and/or higher notes when strumming hard?
