SUDDEN BUZZING GOING INSANE

[elrigato]

Do you hear that buzzing sound ?.......I DO !!!!!!!!!!!

My Martin DR guitar has suddenly started to buzz and "I'm going insane"

first it was the B sting while strumming a "D" chord, then the G string. Now it seems to buzz more and more, on various areas on the neck. i've only been playing a short time,so I find this buzzing very distracting.

Why now ? Why all of a sudden ?

Could it be that my playing is getting lazy and i'm not close enough to the frets, or not pushing as hard as i used to on the strings ?

Could it be the under the saddle pick up that i have installed rattling around

Could It be the pins that hold the strings into the guitar at the bridge ? do they just suddenly get funky and clangy ?

Could it be the humidity or lack of it ?


I changed the strings....I tightened all the hardware...I brought up the action a little, then some more.....changed the saddle....checked the frets.....I have checked for cracks in the body......Ive checked the nut....AAAAAHHHHRRRRGGGG !!!!!!

Any help would be great

Thanks Guys Rob

Maybe the weather?...I have my guitars hung on the wall in my bedroom. I have a humidifier that keeps the moisture level in the room just right.
FYI...In those private moments between the little lady and myself, I DO NOT think of the Staratocaster!...not lately anyway.

Just a word to the wise.....

On the innerweb, there is no such thing as privacy. Now, if you'd kindly turn her a little this way......


;D ;D

Could be the truss rod or rod end nut.

Did you inadvertently drop anything into the sound hole (like a pick or a couple of coins)?

Get a dental (or small swivel) mirror and look about internally.

Fill the body with packing peanuts or foam rubber.

Buy another guitar (always works for me).

We do.

If I post something untoward, my bad.

If you think something untoward, your bad.


So this guy has a fixation on sex. He is sent to a shrink who shows him some simple drawings and asks him what he sees.

When shown a circle, he sez "sex."

When shown a square, he sez "sex."

When shown a hexagon, he sez "sex."

The shrink sez "man you sure are fixated on sex."

The unk (uh, I mean guy) sez, "well, you're the one drawing all the dirty pictures."

and "I'm going insane"

I've been there more than occasionally. It's not all that it's made out to be............................

you DID!

those things are the product of a sick, twisted, evil mind.

the person who invented them, should be beaten with a dead fish.


the person who invented bubble-wrap, on the other hand, should be considered for Sainthood.
