Members JohnnyRaincheck Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Short story long, my Wife knocked over my BFG accidentally (??!!??) and now there is a bad buzz at the 10th fret on the G and D strings. I can't see any cracks and the neck still looks straight, but I'm not sure. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members almightycrunch Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 maybe a sprung fret that needs reseating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 maybe a sprung fret that needs reseating? That's what i was thinking. Sometimes they tap right down and stay. Sometimes they need a little encouragement to stay. For that I wick a little water thin super glue under the fret and clamp it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mikey Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Replace those strings before you do anything. I had a Strat take a nasty hit and a string wound up with a kink/dent on the underside from striking a fret that wasn't visible from the top. This caused a rattle at the next fret up the neck.

Members *BLEEP* Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 Short story long, my Wife knocked over my BFG accidentally (??!!??) A parapraxis is an act that appears to be unintentional but can be understood, through psychoanalytic exploration, to be perfectly motivated and unconsciously determined. A brief and delimited disturbance that may be spontaneously explained as the result of chance or inattention, a parapraxis may be readily perceived by its initiator or by a third party to be a "mistake." Sorta like when my wife managed to accidentally put the vacuum cleaner through the speaker cone of my old Peavey several years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. I've actually had that happen as well. It causes the string to vibrate in strange ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JohnnyRaincheck Posted October 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 I didn't think of that! Hopefully new strings will resolve. You guys rock, next round is on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fly_with_v Posted October 28, 2010 Members Share Posted October 28, 2010 My need a mnor truss rod adjustment. If you do not see a crack it most likely isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
