RE: Back Buzz (in reply to Sr. Martins)

I've had a couple guitars over the years with some weird buzzes, and here's how I solved them. You can make a little electric circuit with a battery, a flash light bulb and a couple wires, hook a wire to the string in question (only works on bass strings) , and touch the other wire to the frets one by one until you get the light flickering at the moment of the buzz/ring. Having some alligator clips, and a second person to help will help. You might be able to do the same thing with an multimeter using the ohms setting, maybe on the k-ohms, or megohms range setting would work best to catch that it's contacting. This assumes you know some basic electricity, and assuming it's a fret buzz. I had a guitar with a buzz, and it was actually a loose strip of wood (don't know the name of the piece) inside the lower bout where it sits on your leg. Reglued it and it fixed the problem. So look or feel inside for loose wood. That can be a hard one to find if you're hung up on it being fretboard/string related and don't look inside. Regards, Jeff
