If there is too much room in the nut slot it can cause a buzz. iconocoustica Posted 2005-03-07 8:02 AM (#160873 - in reply to #160871) Subject: Re: fret problem ??

If you are talking about a "tinkly" noise when you fret the note and pluck the string, the string is probably hitting up against the frets somewhere above where you are fretting. Sounds like a fret leveling and dressing should take care of that. It is not hard to do yourself with the right tools. Check out http://www.stewmac.com. Hope this helps. Franklin
