String buzz. Oh, man: so many possibilities with different solutions. More information required.

Unplug, get your ear down low to the strings and try to find out exactly where the buzz is occuring. The nut? The saddles? Probably the frets; if so, where? Is it only when you fret a particular string on a particular note?

Have you sighted down the neck to check it is straight, or very slightly concave, from the front? (Always sight down the neck from the peghead end.)

Don't touch that truss rod till you are sure what you're trying to do...


Buzzes after the 12th fret on the wound strings. Raised the action slightly and it seems to have cleared it up. TOM bridges are so much easier to manipulate :lol: I think I'm going to go down to my local shop and see if he can set it up and give me a run through on how its done.

I investigated my humbucker. It seems its the actual bobbin thats black. Is it possible to replace those?

Oo-er - I wouldn't touch those bobbins, unless your name is Seymour Duncan...

Sounds like it's just the height of the saddles causing the buzz. It would be good to be certain there's no issues with the neck though: a pro set up is money well spent. If he let's you watch what he's doing, then he's a very nice man.

What part of the country are you in? Perhaps someone on here can recommend a good tech in your area?

Cheers.
