What to do? Fret Buzz

[lilbrisket]

Hey fellow softies
I NEED HELP! I recently bought a schecter C1...Beautiful looking guitar, Amazing sound, great feel.. BUT
I have some serious fret buzz on the 7th and 9th frets particulary on the d and g string....even after raising the action, the fret buzz is still there..and the guitar is already quite hard to play because i raised the action...raising the action more still doesnt eliminate the fret buzz and makes it ridiculous to play.
Can anyone help me out over here? Any suggestions? or anything I can do to make it right.
Please help..as Im in love with this guitar and I just bought it...
god..its almost like getting married to your wife and then finding out she has AIDS..Im sure you all know the feeling when you buy a beautiful piece of equipment which fucks up as soon as you reach home..
Thank you so much for your help fellow softies..
warmest regards..

Hey bro, it is not that serious like AIDS. You can get it done by yourself or by professionals. Normally, there is string buzz if your guitar neck is not setted up properly. Try adjusting the truss rod or bring your beloved guitar to Mike at Standard Value or Beez (Look for Beez). I'm sure they can help you set up nicely to your liking. Dun treat it like a terminal disease la. Cheers!

i would say thats an odd occurrence since my schecter was setup beautifully when i received it.

Yeah I agree with RyanZ, get it professionally set-up. Other than Beez and Mike, there is still KC from Zen guitars and Malcom. I know a of few friends who ONLY trust Malcom with their guitars.

maybe the frets at the 7th and 9th frets are slightly out of level, KC and the rest will be able to spot the problems easily get it properly set up too.

It may just be the neck warping. For me, I'd simply adjust the truss rod myself. I've done so before on my various guitars. Because, I just can't justify spending so much just to get someone to tweak the truss rod.

Here's a good guide:
How To Adjust Your Guitar's Truss Rod - By Gene Imbody - 5/1/2001

However, if you suspect that it's more than just neck warping. Such as uneven frets etc, then do get it professionally set-up.

hmm i would still recommend having the guitar checked out and fully set up, since it's new. after the owner gets more experience in guitar set up, he can do the truss rod adjustments himself.

IMO, if you tried and there is still fret buzz, it is better to bring your guitar to set up professionally if you want it to play well.
