  • Fret buzz-big E string

    I recently tried to fix some major big E string 1st fret buzzing on my model 6.i think was it caused by a worn nut. I used super glue gel to fill the groove but also tried adjusting the neck before but it really didnt get better.im hoping the super glue trick works after i file it. Anyone else done this before?

    Is it open string buzzing against the first fret, or a fretted note at the first buzzing against the second fret?

      open buzz but it seems to be fixed.just had to carefully cut a small groove for the E string.Well see how long it lasts tho,Was tempted to just put a small peice of paper under the string but the glue has hardened and seems to be working great!

        I have never tried the super glue thing, but I had a guitar that the groove for the low E had worn down too low and used to put a piece of the high E string that I had cut off under the string inside the nut slot and it worked great until I got around to replacing the nut.

          Yes, replacing the nut would be my advice too.
          Two guitars are better than one.

            If you still have problems hook up with Sully. I believe he is relatively local to you and will give you honest advice about what to do for a fix.
