Hi Guitar Foo,

If all your strings are buzzing, there are few things to check.

Are the strings new? Have you changed strings recently? If the strings have been used more than a few times, try a fresh pack and see if that alleviates the problem.

Truss rod adjustment. Taking all the strings off at once allows the neck to relax. Restringing doesn’t always bring the neck back to exactly where it was. If this is the case, a simple truss rod adjustment will fix it.

Did you change to a different string gauge or tuning? Either of these can change the amount of tension on the neck, making it backbow and cause buzzing. If this is the case, a simple truss rod adjustment will fix it.

If the truss rod is adjusted properly and there’s still significant string buzz, the guitar may be getting dry, reacting to a lack of humidity.
