B String is lower and Copping a Buzz ;)


Ok, since I got my Jem, it's had bad buzz at the first fret for the G B and E string. Today I shimmed the nut, so now the only buzz is coming from the B string.

I thoroughly inspected the bridge and nut for this particular string and found that it is lower than the others. I checked the saddle and it seems to be at the appropriate level and the nut string spaces are equally level the same depth.

I made sure all the frets were aligned and even dressed the first fret down the smallest bit...but the buzz only seems to be occuring on this string.

What can I do to fix this with the exception of a saddle shim?

The other frets still have the smallest buzz too, FYI.

The obvious answer would be to add another .1mm shim under the nut. Shimming the saddle to match the radius couldn't hurt either.
