buzzing on d g and b string at nut or at bridge?

Question

On my electric guitar, there is some buzzing at the nut OR it could be at the bridge, and it only happens to my g string, my d string, and my b string. If i play a not on a fret, there is not buzzing. it is only when I play an open string.

If there is any way to fix this, please let me know.

Answer 1

Take a thin piece of veneer (wood) about the size of the strike panel on a matchbook. Wedge it under the strings at the top of the neck just before the fretboard. It should stop the buzzing.

Answer 2

Since it's happening on the center strings and not at the top or bottom, you may need to check the radius of your bridge. Your frets are not flat all the way across; there is a slight curve upward in the middle, and if your bridge is set flat all the way across, the center strings when played open will buzz at the first fret (near the nut, but not at the nut) - any notes you fret will be fretted at or above the first fret, right? You can get a radius guide pretty cheaply at a music store; it's like a card that you put across the strings at the bridge and adjust the bridge saddles to the correct curve.

Answer 3

Is it purely the open strings? Are there any particular frets that are extremely undesirable? that is diverse issues, yet except something is heavily tousled, a undemanding set up will fix it. Take your guitar into any guitar save and ask for a set up. it may purely value you about $20.

Answer 4

Depends on if it's a floyd rose or a fixed bridge- I'd have to know that first.
Also sounds cheap~ you can fix it but I would just get a new (better) axe

Answer 5

Take your guitar to the music store and have them adjust the neck and that will fix it.

Answer 6

it's a cheap guitar. Get a better one.
