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!
