Buzzing(?) on a few string, few fret.

Beez usually charges $50 for a setup.

Unless yours is a floyd rose.

This is his quotations frm last year so you better call him up to check
 
Got. Ask me.

Answer these questions:

which strings at which frets give you buzz?

what is the string clearance at fret 7 when you press fret 24 (or 22 if you dun have 24... but floating bridge should have 24 right?) ?

what is the string clearance at fret 24 (22) when the string is open (not fretted) ?

If the buzzing is at fret 0, the height of your nut is too low. Add shims to raise its height. If the buzzing is at fret 1 to 12 your neck is too straight, you need to curve the neck a little by adjusting the truss rod slightly (CAREFUL! read your guitar manual on which direction to rotate the truss rod). If the buzzing is at fret 13 to 24 then your bridge height is too low. Remove the floating bridge, and use 4mm allen screws to turn the posts which hold up the floating bridge, clockwise to lower height, anti-clockwise to raise height.

The clearance heights are absolute figures for you to note down. I myself won't bother to measure, just go by feel... I would lower the height at each possible place just before the point where the string would buzz.. Because I'm a low action guy ^^

Please note that it is inevitable that certain random frets on certain strings might give you buzz. My guitar's 2nd string 17 fret would buzz... But thats just one black sheep. When you get more fret-wear you will encounter these random buzz more often.

Enjoy DIYing your guitar... You cannot love something/someone without understanding it/he/she
