Buzz

I was just playing the other day and i realized when i hit my D string it made a buzzing sound. Its still doing that and I made sure nothing was touching it and it is perfectky in tune. anyone know whats wrong and how it can be fixed? thanks

it's not hitting the fret lines ??? ....werz the buzzing coming from

its happening with the A string also now, its coming from the bridge area

If you have an adjustable bridge try making it a bit higher or switch out the strings if it's time.

What kind of guitar is it? An expensive instrument shouldn't buzz. Having said that, neither should a reasonably priced one either.If you've already checked the bridge height and that hasn't helped, you probably need to check the neck's truss rod. I had my Taylor set up recently - yep that buzzed a bit when I first had it but it really sings now. Remember, use someone who really knows what he's doing when messin with the neck.

thanks, i think ill try switching the strings. Theyve been on there for a whilke now that i think about it. Because the onl strings that sap a lot for me are the G and and mostly the high E( i have like 6 packs of strings with everything still there except the high E) But when i change a sgtring should I change all of them? or just the string that needs to be replaced?

Yes. Change them all. Try Elixir or Dadario strings. They have a lovely tone and Elixir strings last a long, long time.

ya, i use dadarios, i used to use ernie balls but i tried dadarios and i like them a lot better

If you snap one change 'em all. That way they all age at the same rate. For instance if I tear a contact lens, I'll throw the other one away too just to maintain symmetry. :D

Give Elixirs a try. They feel different to start with. I use them on my Taylor and wouldn't use anything else. They give a very warm rounded tone and stay in tune well.I use 10s on the Taylor and i use 9 Elixir super lights on my American series strat. You'll see what I mean when you put a set on. Mind you they are quite a bit more expensive. Check that you have the correct ones for acoustic and electric...........Good pickin'

By the way I have no vested interest at all in the company!!
