I've been the very happy owner of a Seagull S6+Folk guitar for about a year. Terrific tone, great action.
Then hell visited me.

I changed my strings.
Now I have a problem that is consistent and easy to describe.

Using a tuner, I tune a string. Let's say we're talking about the G string (although it happens with ALL the strings).
I tune it open to G. Perfect.
Now I press the 1st fret on the G string. It is a little bit sharp. The 2nd fret, sharper still. The 5th fret (C) is sharper still, and so on.

So, although it is in tune open, it is NOT in tune (it is sharp) as you go up the string.

H E L P   ! !
The only thing I can think of is to remove the strings and put on another set.

If you can’t help me, can you suggest a place that might?

Thank you
