Damn buzz! help needed...
Well somethin like two weeks ago I was playing aint talkin bout love lol, when noticed a small buzzing in the b string 1st fret, so I said ok no big deal, and then all the strings buzzed when fretted at the 1st fret and now the 2nd fret too!
What should I do? the guitar is a 1570 and has fairly low action but it had never buzzed after I set it up the first time, Iīve already changed strings but its still the same, whan can it be? its only in the first frets, and its becoming more annoying each day.
Has this happened to anyone? suggestions?
Well thanks for reading and I hope you guys can help me!

Re: Damn buzz! help needed...
ok theres the way you check for neck trueness
press the thick e on the first fret and pres it on he 22 or 24 fret...you should see a bow from frets to strings from each side
at the 7th fret it should be a about 2 buissness cards away from fret 7
if its too low this relates in buzzing and if its too high it relates to high action
also bridge setup too. sometimes after you setup your guitar it aclinates to its enviroment and this happens. to ensure the neck is true with tension, try to check it the way i explained..this is the easiest way to adjust neck true..then its all about the bridge

Re: Damn buzz! help needed...
ok so I measured and there was a .000001mm gap between the string and the fret, so I did as Rich suggested and loosened the trussrod a bit, I guess it should be left a while like that to let the neck adjust right?

Re: Damn buzz! help needed...
oh thats way too thin, im thinking 1/64 inch would be normal, yeah i think you should loosen you trust rod
i mean once you depress the first and the 24th fret at the same time you should be able to fit two buissnesscards between the string andf the 7th
fret wire
from there, you can work it either way

Re: Damn buzz! help needed...
I have buzz on high-e string too and i cant fix it. Just high-e keeps buzzing. Action isnt too low and enough relief.

Bah, don't be afraid to adjust your truss rod. Unless your a complete knob and you crank the hell out of it your not going to hurt anything.
