hilm3 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 That's not really acceptable, I think. Needs a set up.

I Am Here Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Any fret buzz on an open string is unacceptable. You need a pro setup or maybe a fret job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty bad, It looks like you should be able to raise the action pretty easily so I would try that, you won't harm anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Norm Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 How those it sound when it's plug true an amp ? It's an electric guitar... it's sometimes buzz unplugged but sounded very well true an amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIX Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Has the buzz been there since day one? Or did it just come on one day? If it came on one day, then it was probably due to environment change and you just might need to adjust the truss bar. I think it would be worth having it setup by a guitar tech. Hope that helps.

It's an electric guitar... it's sometimes buzz unplugged but sounded very well true an amp. yes, that´s what i think as well. i set up my wildkat and standart myself. i put the action as low as i wanted it. 2 open string are buzzing very light but i can´t hear it plugged in. but next time i change the strings i´ll put something under the nut to make it a tiny bit higher. this very little buzzing doesn´t disturb me personally.

Septic Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 The problem with fret buzz is that the noise is caused as the fret stops the string from vibrating at it's prefered amplitude and in effect "clips" the sound, so if you're not hitting the string harder than you mean to, zero fret buzz is the only acceptable condition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
