This measurement is taken at the 14th fret for most guitars and 12th fret for Concertina body guitars. To give the strings enough clearance to vibrate without causing fret buzz, we set guitars up at 3/32” on the bass side and 2/32” on the treble side. We put some tips together with our Warranty/Repair department to help you troubleshoot.ġ) String Height: The first step to troubleshooting fret buzz is to measure your string height where the neck joins the body. If the buzz is coming from the fingerboard extension, it’s likely humidity related. If the buzz is concentrated in the middle frets, 3rd to 9th, the truss rod may require adjustment. Generally speaking, if the buzz seems to be only at the 1st fret, that usually means the nut is too low, or the grooves in the nut have worn down too low. It’s usually easy to isolate which strings and frets are buzzing. Sometimes you can experience fret buzz in the open position, and other times it could be specific strings and/or frets. Fret buzz is a buzzing noise that occurs when the string vibrates against one or more of the frets. Changes in humidity and temperature can commonly cause fret buzz. ![]()
