  • Fret problem........need help.

    High E string when fretted at the 11th fret buzzes, but none of the other strings do it on the same fret. Goes away when action is high. What it, how can I fix it?

    I think you half-answered you question.

    Shim your saddle. That should take care of it.

    Use some thin brass stock. Or even a part of an automotive feeler gauge. (My personal fav as it has different thicknesses)

      Or possibly the fret is raising slightly on the E string side...

      Check to see if its unseating it self..

      if not..

      Get a straight edge and check 11 & the adjacent frets.
      (10 11 & 12)

      There may be one of those higher causing the 11th fret to squeak.
      Typicaly the fret before the problem fret...
