constructordeguitarras -> Chasing A Buzz (Mar. 27 2026 18:03:16)
|
I've been getting a guitar ready for sale. Playing it a little. There has been a slight but annoying buzz when I pull off any fret on the 5th string to the open string. I adjusted the nut several times. Made a new nut. The buzz remained. I couldn't get rid of it. I toyed with the idea that it would be okay if someone played with a capo all the time or didn't pull off as hard as I do. Finally I checked the frets--which I had already leveled and re-crowned. Indeed, a straight edge (the body of my small combination square) placed over the first three frets rocked; the second fret was high, somehow. I fixed it. The buzz is gone. Oh well, not as bad as Ramirez III who chased a buzz around for a day and finally found that it was due to a loose nail on his workbench. This is what happens when you get old. [:D]
