Hello everybody!

I have a fret buzz from 19th to 22 on my Luke II :(

What is the best thing to do about it? is it the relief or what?

first raise the action in that area by raising the bridge saddles evenly til the buzz is gone. then....if the action is too high for ya in the middle of the neck.........tighten the truss rod little bits at a time (1/8 a rotation) til the action is where u want it.
(clockwise as u are looking at the truss rod from the bridge)

i can't guess anymore........i'd have to see the guitar to evaluate it any more.....
the guitar needs a setup by someone who knows what they are looking at. you will have to find a good guitar doc....or send it in to jon via ebmm customer service.

Yeah, for the most part, if you want a real low action, you're going to have to deal with a little buzzing.

I fear some people on this forum deal with a little buzzing even though they're not playing guitar.

:cool:
