DHudson Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have a Jam Master f-style mandolin purchased in May 2012. I have a problem with a buzz which seems to occur at the 7th fret of the lower or outside G string. I had it setup by a Gibson-authorized repair shop in July and the guy found a couple of raised frets that he repaired. This has not eliminated the buzz however. Has anyone else encountered this problem and/or could offer some advice on what to try next? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I play electro mandolin in a folk orientated trio Way cheap Chinese but very good for the money and who cares if it gets scratched... Yes it buzzes at some points, but is not noticeable through the amp Perhaps the downside of spending large money on a mandolin Raising the bridge and/or trying a higher gauge string set may change things But personal advice is to live with it...(what self respecting mandolin-ist gets up to the 7th fret anyway)...
