 Check the Ferrule Nut on the tuners FIRST!

Changed the Strings, Oiled the Fingerboard cuz sharp Fret-ends were sticking-out.. Adjusted the Tremolo-springs (non-O)... And was ready to play. But there was this annoying buzz on the open "G" string... So I checked the frets and nut height, adjusted the truss-rod.. Still Buzzed! Then I discovered that I could get the same buzz by playing a "G" on the D string... and the A string... Same buzz not as loud! So after checking for cracks, neck-bolts, back plates, truss-rod rattle, spring rattle and everything else that I could think of... I did what I should have done First! I tightened the the Ferrule-nut thingies on the Tuners... Hence the Title of this Thread. | ||

Reason I ask is I have never heard that term before, need to expand my vocabulary.  | ||
