Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Just thinkin'..... is there any "play" in the angle of the saddle? If it tilted forward a bit, it might cause some buzzing?
Could be the neck straighend a bit during the restringing, and will return to its "usual" curvature?
BTW, where is the buzzing occuring? Maybe your nut slots are getting deeper?

Location: liverpool ,england | if i play the string open it dosnt buzz when i fret it at the 2nd fret it buzz's when the strings hit , iam hitting it harder to try locate were its coming from it sounds from the bridge pin area but cant be 100% certain i did take all the strings off at once when changing them i've since been told to do them one at a time, now am thinking i've took all the tension out of the neck and this is causing the problem, i am torn as to whatit could be, thanks for the replys btw! |

Location: Utah | Does it buzz with the same note on a different string? If it buzzes on that same note it would be something like a brace, truss rod, wire touching the back of the top, etc. If it only buzzes on that string on that fret it could be a fret problem. A good straight edge that spans 3 frets will help identify if there is a high or low fret. Look carefully at the 3rd and 4th frets to see if one of those looks like it is coming up. |
