problem with bad fret buzz
« on: March 07, 2007, 04:26:38 AM »
Mga kapatid!

Just got a guitar off the forum and it has a really bad fret buzz starting around the 20th fret for number 2-4 strings. what happens pa is the sound dies abruptly when I bend the 2nd string na may buzz. All the other strings and frets ok naman and maganda action. Can this be fixed easily like adjusting the bridge or something, or is it really bad that i need to bring this to a luthier? :? refretting na ba katapat nito?

how much does a general guitar set-up cost and how long does it take?

Hhmm... could be as simple as a string height adjustment, otherwise, baka may back-bow = kailangan truss-rod adjustment, or; frets < 20 = worn out = kailangan re-fret; o kaya naman nut slots are cut to deep = new nut.

itaas mo lang action sa bridge...kahit bad fret pa yan di na yan sasabit. itaas mo ng husto yung action..mas mataas ang action mas malinis ang tunog...

it's the players preference.

sounds to me you need to raise the bridge height a bit, but since it's the 20th fret it might need a fret re level.
