Location: Solano County | Does anyone know what a "buzz" sound is caused from? My Ovation at times does this-although it still has incredible playing and recording quality.I heard it was a matter of fret readjustment? Sometimes though, I tune my guitar way down for my compositions-this is when I notice a difference in buzzing.
Thanks for your help!

Location: NJ | when you tune it down it slacks the strings use a heavier gauge string that may help but you may have to take some more relief in the neck |

Plus... if it buzzed down on the low frets... its probably neck relief (truss rod adjustment).
If it buzzed up toward the higher frets (say above fret 8 or 10, then it could simply be the saddle is too low. |

Location: NC | Buzzing is sometimes simply not enough finger pressure applied to the string during play. :) |

Location: Solano County | Thank you all for your replies and input!! I think it's time for me to take it down to the shop and get a tune up. Haven't had the neck adjusted in years-but it still sounds as good as Ann and Nancy Wislon (Heart) If only my playing was as good as theirs! And I do always use x-light strings-I like a bright sound (often breaking my E string) but I will try out medium gauge....hmmmmmm
Thanks all-you guys are terrific |
