Buzzing

Unread post by steveostyle » Fri Nov 18, 2005 3:09 pm

I recently restrung my guitar and the low E string and on a lesser note the A string buzzes, especially when I slide. Is there any way to fix this?

Get your guitar adjusted, or play with higher gague strings.

the vaginal fluid they are secreting is the same composition of urine minus the uric acid and phosphorous. i learned that in 11th grade anatomy. btw, sometimes it does have a FAINT smell of Pizzle.

No, higher as in thicker. If you're using lights, try medium light, or mediums. A higher gague string will require a higher tension, that bows the neck a little more and raises the action which = less buzzing. You'll also get a louder sound out of your guitar as well.

The buzzing has gone down slightly, so maybe it was just the new strings. I know absolutely nothing about adjusting the action, can someone link me to a FAQ site or something about that?

Just take it in to a guitar shop if you plan on fucking with the action. Unless you know what you're doing.

I'm getting mine done. If I try to play the "It's crazy, I'm thinking, just knowing that the world is round" part of "Crush" it buzzes like shit now due to the change in temps.

Going with a new bridge and getting the akshun adjusted.
