slayer63636 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 as some of you know i recently rebuild a goth explorer and posted my progrees on the progress page. well now that it is done im haveing trouble setting it up right. the person who want to buy it want low action but for some reason i can not get it. when it set up low only the first 3 frets buzz. i was wondering if there was a certain way to set up the tail peace hight and would that even be a factor?

Could be the slots are too deep, if it's only the first three frets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Do they buzz when you fret them or when played open? You can do various things. If it buzzes when open it might just be the nut height, but if it does it when fretted it might be the thruss rod (slight chanse) or you need to level and dress the frets.

thomasteven Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Although it has nothnig to do with the fret buzz, you might not have put in the appropriate neck angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayer63636 Posted January 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 thanks for the help. i finaly got it right last night and now i get no fret buzz. idch- i bought the nut pre sloted and when i was about to put it in i cleaned the nut slot just enough to remove the old glue. Maiden69- only the first few frets use to buzz. i tweaked with the truss rod and now it working great. thomasteven- i dont think that the neck angle would be a factor since this is a epiphone goth explorer that already had the angle. Once again thank you all for taking the time to help me out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
