Dead spot on 14th fret help?

just picked up a nice Allparts tele. It’s a very light guitar but I’ve noticed that when bending the g string at 14th fret the sound dies out.

to be fair the strings are dead as anything, that I’ll recrify soon.

never had this before and not over techie so any advice as to how to overcome

    Is it choking on a higher fret?

    If it’s ‘structural’ - rather than a high or low fret - sometimes a minor slackening or tightening of the truss rod can lessen the problem.

    Change the strings first and report back...problem may vanish

    Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
