Del Nilppeznaf Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Having problems with the J35 lately. Since restring couple of weeks ago Im getting unwanted buzzing noises coming from sound hole..seems like near bridge inside. first it was a very bad case with the low E... I restrung and it disappeared only to return again... I am guessing it is something to do with the installed pup i restrung again...and had to move one of the wires around inside..something i do not like doing...a wire is held to the actual top of the guitar with a metal clip..really near the bridge... moving this slightly (the wire only) alleviated the problem Now Im getting the same thing on a fretted C note..and D...aawwwww... it is driving me crazy...have had to stop playing and leave it till tomorrow i think I will restring completely with new set of strings... but I dont like moving them bloody wires around Any advice ?

guitarstrummer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Did you restring with the same gauge of strings? Make sure the ball ends are seated up tight against the bridge pins. You might also check to make sure the truss rod cover screws are tight. I had a loose screw once (let the jokes begin/LOL) and it caused a buzz that sounded like it was coming from several different places. Good luck. I hate buzzing.

EuroAussie Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Do you humidify it mate ? Could be sign of a dried out guitar as you put the heater on for the autumn / winter months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Have a look at the jack socket _ I swore mine was buzzing from the inside but it just needed the end pin socket tightened . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParlourMan Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 buzzing you say? Glues and solvents or aerosol gasses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cibby53 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I took care of buzzing from pup in my new J 35... I removed it . In all my years playing acoustics I never have plugged in and since I'm turning 60 I doubt I ever will. Also my J 35;needed a slight truss rod adjustment I could not find anything in my tool box that fit so I had to order a wrench.. The J 35 plays sweet now with out a buzz.

MuddyDitch Zhuangzi Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 My J-35 came down with a buzz just like you described soon after I got it. Adjusting the wires to make sure they were not vibrating against the top and tightening the end pin jack solved the problem. Then after stinging up with GHS vintage bronze .13-.56 I got some fret buzzing. Loosening the truss not even a quarter turn fixed that.

EuroAussie Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Bloody Gibson QC issues .... good thing this was not a thread on the AGF .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Wasn't there a renegade thread stating the saddles on J35s were too low? Now an E string buzzing! Where will it end? I guess DelNips string buzz would represent a QC issue of o.oooooooo1 %. Unacceptable. I had a buzz - it was my bridge plate. Had to go back to my Orthodentist 4 times. Apparently it was all in my head. Wow. Slow news day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
