Hi,

I just bought a new ES 335 a couple of weeks ago and am starting to notice some general string buzz across the guitar in many locations and on pretty much every string.

There doesn't seem to be any issue with condition of the instrument and the strings look well set up over the neck.

What is the best way to get rid of this, maybe raise the action a little?

Thanks

Raising the action is usually the first place to start to get rid of string buzz.  The truss rod may need adjustment as well.  If you are not familiar with "setting - up " a guitar it may be worth it to take it to a luthier and have him check it over and do a set-up.

If you are 'starting to notice' string buzz, it suggests the string buzz was not there 2 weeks ago. Is this the case? Or did you simply not notice before?

If buzz was not present 2 weeks ago, then its more likely that the neck has settled and you need to check your neck for straightness/relief before raising the action.
