  1. Hi, Alex Pasc!!! Man, unfortunately I have the same issues with that buzzing caused by the electronic part of the guitar. That' s way I think that it may be a better idea to buy a guitar with just the resonance hole...and no more additional holes in the wood. No other electronic parts that require cutting the beautiful wood of the guitar...in this particular model Gibson cuted a giant whole in the side of the rosewood to fit a big and clunky electronic system that causing buzzing issues. Surprisingly I didn't learn my lesson...there's a quote which says something like this: "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I made it. I even bought another Gibson songwriter guitar...the same model but from 2019 (the "old" one was from 2018) and I have the same issues. Fortunately for Gibson, there are many people who do not pay attention to these details...Unfortunately for me, I care about those issues especially when the guitar cost 2666 euro.:)))... PS. The moral of this discussion: If a guitar is made in the USA, this definitely does not guarantee the quality. Recently I played a Yamaha guitar made in China that sounds very healthy and does not have these problems with strings buzzing. Unfortunately, a totally wrong idea has taken root in people's minds, according to which, if an object is made in America it must be with great quality... it is totally wrong and an extremely superficial way of thinking...There are cases when the quality is highly poor. Gibson should rethink his strategy because such a thing is shameful. If you can't ensure a better quality check, then maybe you should be fair to the consumer and lower your monetary claims one storey below.
  2. Thank you a lot for your help and for your great ideas. I will try to use these ideas and I will also try to write to fishman guys wich I tried once but they didn't answer me. Have a great time!!!
  3. If I keep my finger pressed on Gibson logo from the tuner, while I play the C note, it stops buzzing. I tuned the D string one step down into the C note and it has the same vibration.
  4. Thank you very much for your idea!!! I completely remove the battery but it starts to buzz other notes. I find out that when I press the tuner with my finger is stop buzzing.
  5. Hi!!! Thank you very much for your response. I bought it new and I wrote to the Customer Service but they did't response me yet. I was thinking to refill the screw holes with wood filler and screw the original screws. But I have some doubts. I find out that when I press the tuner with my finger is stop buzzing.
  6. Hi, thank you very much for this new idea. I didn 't think about that!!! It could work!!! Have a great day!!!
  7. Thank you for bringing me know that. My first thought is that is coming from the tuner because I stick my ear on it and it seems that is whispers to me.
  8. Thank you very much for your response!!! I have no idea what's the terms of bringing back to the dealer or what costs are involved or if the transport is safe.
  9. Thank you very much for your response!!!The vibration is from the tuner!!!
  10. Hi!!! I bought a Gibson Songwriter Deluxe Studio EC (picture A) a couple of months ago after a long time of struggle with saving money. Finally I managed to gather the money and to fulfill my dream. The first meeting between me and the guitar was memorable. The guitar really spoke to me. I gently took it off from the case and instead of “Hi”, she said “clunk”. A very annoying sound produced every time I moved the guitar. I found the source of that “clank”. It was the guitar tuner, (picture B) the electronic part of the guitar. After all, the source of all my problems is this tuner. PS. My thought is: Don’t buy a guitar with more than two holes. If you want a tuner, buy it separately. Somehow I managed to fix the problem with the “clunk” noise but with what cost? Till I managed to fix it, I had to take the tuner off for several times. This caused another problem. I damaged the screw holes and now the screws won't stop turning. I tried to replace the original screws with other that have nuts (picture B and C). I put the nuts inside the body and gripped the screws but I didn’t screw hard because I was afraid to not cracking the wood. Anyway, I still have a gap between the tuner and the guitar body. A very small gap where is space for a piece of sheet (picture D) The main problem is the BUZZING string, a buzz which is come from the tuner. That buzzing sound comes when I play a very specific note. Every time when I play a C note (or a C sharp/C flat) with the 6,5 or 4 string (picture E), the buzzing sound is coming from the tuner. If I open the tuner (picture F), there’s no buzzing at all. If I take off the battery, C note will no longer buzzing but will start buzzing other notes. Sometimes, when I press my finger on the tuner and take it off, it is stop buzzing for a while but it starts again. I tried with new strings but it is still BUZZING. It is quite unpleasant when you spend so much money for the guitar and when you play, you hear a dying fly inside the guitar. I am Daniel, I’m from Romania and there’s no Gibson dealer near me to help me and I hope that you could give me some help, some brilliant ideas. Sorry for the low quality images but I had to compress the pdf to be integrated in the size limits. Thank you very much!!! pictures from A to F--compressed (1).pdf
