Long winded post, but please bear with me, I need help!
I recently took my Charvel CX-391 to a local guy I've been dealing with for some time. The guitar was fine apart from some buzzing on the 7th and 9th frets. I hadn't taken it to a pro since I bought it, so I figured I'd get him to give it the works. He does great work, in fact he used to do Randy Bachmann's guitars back in the day.
He set it up, dressed the frets, cleaned her up really good and she played like butter when I got her back. No buzz. He mentioned that he had to shim the neck a tiny bit, because the neck wasn't sitting in the pocket correctly.He said that partly corrected my buzz and the fret dress took care of the rest.
So after some time I broke the D string. I had just bought some extra packs like 2 weeks before so I got a new string (same guage, same brand) and replaced it. Now all of a sudden the buzz is back! only on the D string that I replaced and it's all up the neck! 2nd fret, 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th! WTF?
The saddle is fine, the nut is fine, and my eyes see the neck as being damn straight, so why the hell does the one string buzz? I took it off, popped another BRAND NEW one on and the same friggin thing!
Truss rod? I don't think so it was just done, but could it be? Like I said the neck looks fine. The frets look great, and I can't really see any other reason that the truss rod. Can they go out a touch when a string snaps? What could the problem be? Why am I typing so goddamn much?
