Help! I just restrung my LX1773 and am getting a buzz from the transducer, when i replaced the strings there were about 5 shims under the transducer one white and 4 natural colored shims, does the white one matter where it is? I used D'Addario EXP45 normal tension, also when I first bought it the low E buzzed on the first fret so I just put a piece of paper to shim it up a bit, any suggestions?

Search for "white plastic thingy". I think if you don't get it in the right spot, the preamp doesn't pick up all the strings. That's a lot of shims, especially for that new a guitar.

At first i put it against the transducer (on top) and then i tried it at the bottom, but still have the same buzz, the buzz is not coming from the transducer but from the strings themselves.

Buzzes are hard to track. See if you can isolate a string. It might be a wire inside vibrating against the top, a string buzzing at the nut, or any number of things. Waskel found a pick in my 1537 that was causing a buzz and I never used a pick on it.
