rockman82 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hey guys i got the fretbuzz out of the first few frets. I turned the truss rod counterclockwise, and i don't have fretbuzz, except on the low e string. All the other strings don't have fret buzz. Im not sure why only the low e string buzzes, it might be the nut on the guitar, or the fact that the strings are old. (i put the gibson strings back on because i can't buy a new set for a while.)

met1977 Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Glad to here you got it lined out. I figured a neck adjustment was what it needed..............rock on bro:-({|= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's now a lot you may still need a fret dress or even a nut adjustment. Otherwise, new strings and more time to settle may be all that is needed.

rockman82 Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Im pretty sure my sg needs a fret dressing too. There are some frets that are dented, and some are worn flat. I also figured new strings would help get rid of most of the left over buzz. It's not a lot of relief, but it's way more than i had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding relief will prolong the need for a fret dress; but if you've got too much relief the neck might start to feel a little spongy in the lower to middle registers. If you like a low action and a straight neck the fret dress may be the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
