fret buzz

Just plugged in my new Jackson js22-7 and, my gawd, the pickups are bad. I didn’t expect anything great for a $200 7 string but they are bad. Bridge is muddy Neck is unusable I’m wondering if anyone has some pickup options for this guitar that don’t break the bank and sound good. Thanks...

So, there have been a few threads about this guitar, and people have even mentioned having gotten them to sound nice with a proper setup, but they're old af, and my questions are much more to the point of that setup work. I have an Omen-8 that I'll probably hang to for a while. For the price...

Just a quick one for anyone with advise. I've recently come into ownership of a multi-scale 7 string Jackson, 25.5" - 27" scale and straight out of the box there's loads of fret buzz and due to the current set-up, some form of dead fret nonsense going on. This was only made worse when tuning it...

When I got my 9 string I immediately bought the ernie ball 9 string set just because I wanted the .105 for the c# with the intention of dropping it to a. But holy shit did that buzz like crazy, only when not fretted. I put paper in the nut slot for that string and it fixed it but it gave a weird...

I recently got a .strandberg Boden Metal 8 on Reverb. I figured that because I was banking on a guitar with the .strandberg name , I could expect an instrument with little to no setup issues and I thought the same would apply to a used one too. So I bought one used in mint condition, and the...

Hopefully I'm in the correct forum... I went to work on the my RG752AHM to do some setup. I very much like it has three issues: 1. Lo-Pro angle - needs pulled back a degree or two 2. Action - quite high. Would prefer it dropped a mm or two 3. Intonation - dreadfully sharp above 10th fret, in...

Good morning everyone. I just recently picked up a Schecter C-8 Blackjack as my first 8-string but I'm completely lost on setting it up. I gauged up the strings to 11-85 and tuned down a full step (EADGCFAD) but the E, A, and D strings all have horrible fret buzz open and up to the fourth fret...

have my guitar tuned to D standard. I am getting fret buzz only on the 8th fret of the top D string. ( the thick one). Doesn't happen anywhere else. Doesn't come out of the amp as far as I can tell.

This is kind of a noobish question, but I'm gonna keep it to the point On my RGA8 I've got .010 - .046 + .059 + .080 strings, but the action on the guitar is extremely low to the point where the strings are touching the frets and I get massive fret buzz around the WHOLE neck Another...

Hello, Does anyone have any advice /tips for setting up a tanglewood tjd 700 properly? Mine has extensive fretbuzz, which I can probably deal with by raising the action and maybe inserting a shim under the neck heel. More problematic is the low 'B' where the intonation is way out - its out as...

Ok so I have owned and adored my JPX 7 for almost a year now but I have encountered two major issues. First I cant get the lowest string in my case the low A to not buzz on almost all fretted notes. I had it set up by Dana from the wilmington Delaware area who is very expensive but supposedly...

What string height is good for an original floyd bridge? I'm trying to get my neck straight with a little bow, but I keep getting fret buzz. It's stressing me out :mad: :wallbash: :noplease:

First of all I'm brand new to this site and I'm so sorry to see dudes with stolen guitars I wish the best for you!, but anyways I have a Jeff Loomis s.through 7 and Ive noticed that I have a bad buzz on the A string open and on frets also it buzz's on the e fret not open though. I'm thinking...

Hello, Maybe this is in the wrong section but couldn't find a more appropriate one. I have just changed my strings on my new guitar to some heavier gauge strings (EB Beefy Slinky 11-54 for the 'standard' 6 strings) and a 68 for the low string (tuned to ADGCFAD). I also had to add an extra...

So I recently changed a PU in my guitar and used the opportunity to put new strings on. But now that they are on I begin to wonder whether this "sound" has always been there: It's some kind of metallic clang or chink (or however the translation is). I'm not talking about the typical string...

My 7's been buzzing like crazy for several weeks now. Initially I thought it was the strings having that fresh-string sort of buzz, but it's only been getting worse. It's my Douglas Scope 727, it's buzzing like crazy, no matter what I adjust. I've spent a week trying out different truss rod...

Hello forum, I recently got myself a 7 string guitar (HOORAY) It's a dean vendetta 1.7, second hand from a friend of mine, he bought it about a month ago, but couldnt really get into it (he plays jazz, thought it'd be nice to have 7 strings). Anway, it played like an absolute dream in...

Excuse the novel in advance....I've had an Ibanez ARZ307 for a few months now, and i'm still having issues with fret buzz. A few of you have probably seen a few posts referring to it on here. I had it professionally set up when i first got it. It sounded good at the shop, but in typical fashion...

Hey guys, I need some advice. I recently got an Agile Septor Elite 827 from Rondo Music (this guy - Agile Septor Elite 827 EB DNC Tribal Purple at RondoMusic.com), but it has ridiculous fret buzz problems on the low frets, and is pretty much unplayable on anything but clean tones. Here's what...

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and also a new 7-string player as well. I recently bought a Washburn WG-587V and have run in to a few problems with fret buzz. The neck looks a bit funky and from what I've seen online in diagrams I have yet to see this. My neck doesn't bow in or out from the...
