Hi All, I just bought a new accoustic fender guitar. Im starting to learn via the website, but I notice the E string vibrates when I play it, it gets worse the louder i play it. the vibration happens when I also use the left hand to press down on the frets as well. [br][br]Given the vibration happens on only that E string, and dont see it happen to the tutor in the videos, it seems there is an issue. I have tuned it using the tuner integrated.[br][br]Has anyone experienced this vibration, have a solution? I fail to see how it could be me, but the guitar is new.
Vibrations on the E string - something wrong?

Is it a sort of 'buzzy' sound?

I have the same issue. New Fender acoustic, buzzy low E. Will take it into the shop when it reopens unless someone here has a fix.

Hi,
Total noob here, so please double check with someone more experienced, but check string action!
I've been there, but with an electric Squire Strat. I always thought it was me, until two months ago I decided to get serious about learning and googled setups and maintenaince because my guitar had a few years and very little use. Since I don't have easy access to a professional, decided to do it myself.
I went through all the steps (I think) but the buzz was gone after ajusting the truss rod and action. Now it sounds perfect!
The tools to do this came with my guitar.
From the website:
How to Get Rid of Fret Buzz[br]- A guitar that buzzes at the first five frets will likely need more relief.
- A guitar that buzzes above the 12th fret or across the entire fretboard will likely need the action raised if the neck relief is properly set.
- If your guitar buzzed in middle of the neck and now buzzes above the 12th fret, you’ve likely added too much relief.

Hope it helps. :)
Keep rocking!
