Hi,

I'm pretty new to the guitar. Bought a cheap (~ $200) Sunlite 6 string acoustic about two months ago. Inexpensive, but it was just fine.

The guitar was not in a stand - leaning against the wall, and it fell over. Broke a tuning machine. I replaced all the machines, and restrung with some light strings, I think the original strings were medium.

Tuned it up, and now the E, A, D and G strings are real buzzy, especially when I fret them.

I realize it's probably hard to diagnose without checking out the guitar, but any ideas on what I did wrong?

After the guitar fell and before I replaced anything, the strings were not buzzy, so I don't think the guitar is damaged. One thing I just noticed is that the pegs (?) that hold the strings in the face of the guitar aren't all the way seated - I'm going to try to seat them better and see if that helps.

Any ideas are appreciated,

Buoy
