retArmyLTC Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Guys.... I've discovered a buzz in the high e and b string at the 13th fret only on my Dot Deluxe. No other buzz anywhere else. I've read elsewhere advice to tap the 13th fret down a little....but to my eye it looks level with the rest. Possibly the 12th might look a little high using a straightedge on the frets. Any advice? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenan Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 How noticable is the buzz? Usually small ammount of buzz goes undetected thru an amp so it shouldn't pose a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Are you getting the buzz on the 13th while fretting the 12th? Or fretting the 13th? Sounds very much like a high fret (possibly more than one) above where it's buzzing. Have a quick chat with a tech who'll be able to asses the neck. You'll most likely need a fret level then setup, a very common issue with guitars at most price points these days. It's not something that you should do yourself without experience and the tools. I have a pro setup on my guitars, my Dot as well as the Fenders. I'd highly recommend this as it's well worth it! You'll wind up with a really good playing guitar that you'll love picking up and playing more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retArmyLTC Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks for the advice. For now I solved the issue by raising the treble side of the bridge just a "smidge." Probably wouldn't hurt to get the frets addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
