ORIGINAL: aiwanoe thanks Andy, I'm sure it's something like that. It almost sounds slightly "distorted" on some notes. It's really disturbing. The thing is that on some other notes I also seem to hear less resonation or "bad" resonation (weird rhythmic pattern of the harmonics), while the guitar was a pure delight before I took it to the luthier. I'll bring it back to the guy to see if he can do something but I'm scared that it could have been a bad idea in the first place to fit an internal mic on this beautiful guitar. It's a compromise to do such work on a nice guitar, I understand why you would feel the need to do it as someone playing out often. You can check yourself by taking a free hand and while the right hand produces buzzing with open string(s), feel around all over the guitar, inside and out to try to locate the source of the buzz and "wolf" note. IF it is not a normal open string note, tune a string closest to the same note. Sometimes the clips they use to secure wires are THEMSELVES a source for buzzing. Could also be the jack that was drilled has a loose nut or something, or an un glued brace due to the installation ... so many factors. Worse comes to worse you can preserve the original guitar buy removing everything and filling the jack hole. (On a negra it's less noticeable than on a Blanca). Iif it turns out to be the case you have to change the guitar back, I recommend the Shure Beta 87A. Just cut some bass and put it pretty close to the sound hole and you can get a big full loud sound as DPA with less bleed (and resultant feedback in my experience) at same volume levels.
