    Fret buzz

    Hi,

    Well as the topic says.. I'm having that problem.
    It's not when picking the strings open but on ALMOST every fret and string.
    Can anyone give me any tips to get rid of it somehow?
    I've already tried adjusting the saddles and the neck with the rod but nothing
    helped at all.
    I did change from 9's to 10's but I don't remember if there was a fret buzz with the 9's which were on it when it got it.
    Thanks in advance for the feedback

    - Peter

    If your neck is straight, try raising the action a bit.

    changing string tension can cause buzz especially if you have a trem. read up on setups online and give it a shot or just take it in to a tech to get a setup done (especially if you have a trem on it).

    Are you playing a JP? Remember, Jonguitarz has pointed out that even JP's strings buzz acoustically. He likes his action that low. If it's not coming through the amp then that's how they are set up and meant to be.
    Carlsberg don't make guitars. But if they did they would probably...........not be as good as a musicman!!
