first start with a fresh battery

second try to determine if the buzz is coming from the electronics or some sympathetic vibrations on the guitar. If it is the electronics call the service department or take it back to the store, if it is the guitar then you need to try to determine what is vibrating and tighten it up.

you may have a loose brace.

im sorry for not clarifying more the buzz is when it is un plugged. my model does not hold a battery it only has two knobs, volume and tone. the buzz comes from right below the bridge. and nope no bees.

Is this the nylon stringed guitar mentioned in another post? If so, check the string attachments for something not right.

it sounds like a loose brace.

have someone play the guitar and push your fingers on the top where you hear the buzz if it goes away that is your problem

I recently located a sympathetic buzz in my guitar to the circuit board at the plug-in jack, which I don't know if your guitar has. The main point is that you need to stick your hand inside the guitar while playing it and clamp down on everything one piece at a time. Hopefully, you can find the source that way. They can be difficult to isolate. Good Luck.

I've often felt the same way about guitars (and MICROPHONES for that matter . . . especially on "Karaoke Night").
