This guitar had not been played for a while. Decided to give it a fresh set of strings before playing. String buzzing detected from 14th - 23rd fret. Darn.
- Straightened the neck
- Checked for unlevelled frets, as seen in the pic above, buzzing only occurred on those marked out areas. That's right, the buzzing was not entirely across each fret but occurred at some parts only
- Hammered. After some hammering, only three frets required levelling & re-dress.
Reminder to all those who are addressing fret issues yourselves - hammer first, file subsequently (if necessary). Also, reminder to self - do not remove the old strings before checking for fret issues first. It's quite a challenge to keep the new strings in place while attending to the problematic frets.
To be continued...
