My son bought a used Tim Armstong Hellcat acoustic last night, appearance wise, it's in perfect shape, it's been sitting for a year, the guy bought it hoping to learn, but never really tried. Anyways, it's got bad fret buzz on just about every fret and every string. The neck has just a very slight bow like it should. Does this sound like it needs the truss rod adjusted? We're in Utah, and it's been quite cold this winter, would the temperature change cause this? Would keeping it in a room with a humidifier help? Suggestions?

Thanks,
Sean

A good neck / guitar set up is needed. Neck bow can't be see by eyes only unless you are a professional luthier. Sometimes a look on the fret is useful too. Some could be too high

If your room humidity is less than 25 % , don't go more than 40%, you need an humidifier.
