BryanFoFyan Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 just got my gibson sg standard and am hearing a buzzing noise on the D string that makes all of my notes sound sitarish. got the guitar with high action and it was making that noise. i set up the guitar with low action and it is still making that noise. only within a 9 fret range right in the middle of the fretboard and only on the D string. any help?

Hammnizzle Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 My advise would be to take it to a tech. That said, if it is happening with fretted notes, it's probably not the nut. That leaves the bridge saddle or maybe some high frets as the likely culprits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 If it is fretted notes only, my guess is that you have a an uneven fret or two. It's pretty easy for a seasoned tech to correct. Please just make sure it's not some novice. I got burned by that. That kid really f'd up my frets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryanFoFyan Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 its only on one string tho how could it be bad frets? wouldnt it make the noise on all of the strings if the frets were bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 its only on one string tho how could it be bad frets? wouldnt it make the noise on all of the strings if the frets were bad? Not if you have a bump or dent in the center of the fret. Could be the saddle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
