Gad Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Have you tried adjusting the nut? See how far the strings clear the first fret whith your finger on the third fret. The strings should barely clear the first fret as a rule of thumb. You can also try a neck shim away from the body if this is a bolt on. Youu can use a business card doubled over. Most guitars will have some buzz and this is normal. If your using an electric and cannoot hear the buzz through the amp don't worry about it. I have $3000 guitars that buzz a little.

westhemann Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 check your truss rod adjusment using the tutorial on the main site,then set your action.just go through the steps of "setting up a solid body guitar" it's not the nut.if it was the nut it would be buzzing on open strings.

westhemann Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 remember too that sometimes it takes a little while for the wood to settle in it's new position after a truss rod adjustment.can you adjust each string"s height seperately? anyway if all that doesn't do it you may need to level the frets just me but i wouldn't use a neck shim.it is an accepted way to do things sometimes but from what i understand the more wood to wood contact you have in the neck pocket the better.in effect you would just be making it possible to raise the action higher without actually fixing the real problem.but maybe someone else has a different opinion.

Scott Rosenberger Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 THe nut height in irrelevant because the buzz occurs when the string is fretted. Check to see if your string radius matches the fingerboard radius. If the string radius is flatter than the string radius the d and g strings tend to buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyderek Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 sounds like just fretwear, and the whole board needs to be leveled down to those frets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
