icantbuyafender Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 I've done everything i can think of in any combination possible... but my damn 56 goldtop epi just will not stop buzzing all over the fretboard and when you do open chords... OMFG. I love this guitar but i want the action to be as low as i like it and id like to be able to play it unplugged without a cringe. strum and all you hear is metalic clang. Is a fret dressing expensive? Would this guitar be worth it? My bet is that the neck either off kilter or the frets arent done properly. I've never had this much trouble in doing my own tech work (nut shaping, saddle fitting, TR adjusting)and Im about to sell the piece of $h!t and let someone else have to screw with it. It wouldnt suck as much if i didnt like the sound so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Get a real set-up from a good tech you might be amazed. +1. Guitar necks/nuts/bridges are fairly basic things. A good tech should be able to sort out all the problems you are experiencing and it shouldn't cost too much at all. If you really love everything else about the guitar then it's a far cheaper option than 'selling-and-replacing' the instrument would work out to be. P.

icantbuyafender Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm a big DIY guy. So taking it in kills my pride. It's about time I sucked it up quit whining and swallow my pride I'm taking it to a (well, the only) pro tech in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I learned the hard way you can't wear untra-light strings low on the fingerboard and bang on it with a flatpick. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
