Location: France		Just need an advice. On my Custom legend 1719 CM, E "hight" string, at the 13th and a little at 14th, sound buzzzzzzzzzing, I adjut neck, change strings, but nothing has changed, the string buzzzzzing (I hope you'll understand what I mean). someone know what I can do for repare that ? Do you think this problem is because humidity is very high in my island (tropical weather)?
Thanks a lot

Location: Upper Left USA		Take a look at the slot cut in the Nut and at the area of the Saddle. If there is too much room in the nut slot it can cause a buzz.

Location: North Carolina		Buzz can mean lots of things. 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.
