i like my dx1 but its a little buzzy, i am going to change the strings tomorrow to lights and take it to a guitar shop so he can adjust it so hopefully it wont buzz.. but i want to find the right action to have my guitar at, i dunno what i should do there.. keep it in standard action cause i think thats what its at.. action doesnt make the buzzing right cause that can be adjusted?

sorry for double post, but also after he adjusts my guitar, whats the best way to see if it buzzs and if the action is set right, sorry if i sound so stupid

Well low action can causing buzzing. But buzzing can also be caused by other things, like if one of the frets needs to be filed down a bit. I don't imagine that would be your issue with a brand new guitar.

If you have your action set and want to see if it's buzzing, the best thing to do is play all 6 strings open one at a time, first softly, then harder and harder to see if you can get the open strings to buzz. Again, not strumming them all at once, because that would be a very ugly sound, but just one at a time.

Then play each string at each fret, pretty much walking up the fretboard with your fingers. I don't know how hard you usually play, but I would also sit down and play a couple of riffs that you play a lot. I would play some open chords too. My friends guitar has a high e string that buzzes like you wouldn't believe, but it's really only noticable when you're playing open chords.

thanks man, that helps out alot, would be an example of an open chord? i think i know what it is but i dont want to say it and sound really stupid.

It's not a stupid question. An open chord is just a regular chord, like a D, G, A, etc....

Usually when I tune up or do an action adjustment I run through a bunch of open chords just to make sure everything sounds right and there's no buzzing.
