Persistant Buzz.Still
I've still been having the buzz problems[haven't really had the time or the money to take it down anywhere] and on the low E string,it seems now that the buzz isn't centralized to one particular spot;it's basically wherever I'm playing.

I'm completely stumped.

And I figured out how to fix the other strings from buzzing[just by simply adjusting my finger closer to a fret.]

re: Persistant Buzz.Still
Sounds like your guitar is in need of a proper 'SET UP'

I dont know what kind of guitar you have but buzzing is very annoying .........

so maybe have a look at these sites for some ideas about setting up the neck of your guitar.....

there are a few related videos on this page

If u r unsure to do it yourself ( I never set up my own guitar ) take it to your local guitar shop..... they will do it for say £15 or so ......... its worth it

Can you not raise the E string? and the others for that matter.

If I remember this is a new guitar.

Make time and take it back to the shop before the warranty expires.

Hmm, is the gauge too heavy for your playing?

You MUST MUST take it back to the shop.

Yes
I agree with Denis san on this , the sooner you take it back and get a set up ,doesn't cost much the sooner you will be able to make real uses of the instrument.
The better the instrument , the better and more enjoyable the experience of playing,easier and also teaches no bad habits to compensate  , who wants to know about those frustrations.
The shop may do it for free .....use your feminine wiles ....muso shops boys just love it ....."Oh how can I help?"
"Ahhhh my guitar buzzes ......eyebat eyebat ....smile
bit like Cars .

Ahhh I know where you're going with this yoko :]


Well. I believe it was bought from eBay.  Most likely.

So I should just find a general music store[Maybe Guitar Center,Maybe not?] and ask?


And thanks Fish! I'll have a look at it tonight!

Thanks all :]

I would check around with other music stores about who does their work.. Usually in each city two are three names will keep popping up as to who you should take your guitar work too.. trusted guitar techs.. I am not sure I would take and acoustic into guitar center to get a neck buzz problem fixed.
