If the buzzing decreases the higher you go up the neck, it's an indication your neck could do with a slight adjustment to give it a little more bow (ie. ![]() Is the buzzing consistent when you're playing the string open and when fretting, or does it go away when you're fretting beyond a specific fret? Start open, and work your way up one fret at a time. It can be caused by one of or a combination of several factors, but should be easily resolved.įirst, look that the string is seated properly at the nut and at the bridge, see that nothing's interfering there. You can test this out by de-tuning the E a bit lower to a D or C, this will decrease string tension and would exacerbate the fret buzz (if that's the issue). If that's the issue, the idea is to increase clearance to the smallest degree that will stop the buzzing but not give you a too-high action. It's the string that's at lowest tension and it's gonna be swingin' about like a skipping rope when you pluck it and if it's too close to a fret, may be skimming the fret as it vibrates, causing fret buzz. ![]() The most likely culprit is you're getting fret buzz off the low-E. Is this a physical buzz or an electrical buzz? My friend, buzz is in the guitar, not from you! It's likely a set-up issue and likely easily solved. Hi Anonymous: you say you're new to guitars. ![]()
