Noob question

[Stephen]

ok thank you. i will take it to a GC tech. al this info is really helpful thank you so much. i'll try playing a lighter touch. my amp is having a bit of a problem though it sounds fuzzy sometimes when i play and this like weird sound comes out like if something was cracking inside.

So, it's been a few days, how did it work out with the set up?

The (weird) sounds you seem to be getting from your amp could again be a lot of things, and it is impossible to say something useful to that without knowing the model and probably your basic settings ...

Cheers

i do have a question though... currently im experiencing rattling noises when i pop the from the 7th fret onward of the D string... the G string does slightly buzz but not as bad as the D string... but the D gets a lot off annoying buzz.. and no matter how high it is, it buzzes like hell

I can't really help you there - online luthiers without hands on experience on the instrument in question are bound to doom!

Still, you might want to check in that order:

• Bridge height for the D string (play slowly and precisely from open string to the last fret, repeat with stronger attack. Adjust bridge rider evenly, quarter turns on both screws do a lot).
• Left hand technique ... sorry to say, but this is oddly enough the main reason for buzz on an healthy and properly adjusted instrument.
• Frets, basic set up, actual defects: take it to your luthier or tech.

Cheers
