                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've had an Ibanez acoustic guitar (6-string) for almost two years now. I recently changed all the strings, which gave me a huge improvement on the sound and sustain of the instrument (I'm usually pretty broke so I don't change my strings as often as I'd like). Starting last week my sweet Gladys is not putting out the sound she usually does. I don't know what's going on, it's like the sound is being muffled. I alternate between playing with a pick and bare fingers, and in both situations I don't have the volume coming out of the soundhole like I used to. Any ideas? It's not totally quiet, it just sounds... different.]]></content:encoded>
