COULD BE BATTERIES IF ITS AN ELECTRICOUSTIC
OR THOSE STOPID TUNERS COMING OFF

BUT ITS PROALLY THE STRING
IT MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE IT, BUT IT COULD STILL BE BUZZING

Check this out and see if it may be the cause...the saddle may have shifted to one side, allowing the E string to buzz. Loosen up the strings and see if shifting the saddle slightly helps.

Saddles are not fixed solid to the guitar...they "float" in the bridge slot and can be removed if all the strings are off.

Anyway, I had the exact same problem last week with my low E string and a shifted saddle turned out to be the cause.

Hope this helps.

True it shouldn't. But mine shifted once when I changed my strings...and I only replace one string at a time. I just threw that out there for him because it happened to me.

i just got the guitar for christmas..could taht be the problem...is the saddle the white plastic thing at the bottom which holds the strings? Cause i do remember taking this out and inspecting it and then put it back in...maybe i fucked things up?

Yes, it is the straight white plastic (usually...sometimes bone) thing at the bottom that the strings lay over.

See if the E string has slid off the end of the saddle slightly...if so then shift the sadel back.

Hope that helps.

You may need to look at the trusts rods or have them get looked at, sometimes the cold weather messes those up. I had the same problem but that fixed it.. Good luck..

how far would it have had to slip off?

taylordb · Post by **taylordb** » Tue Jan 20, 2004 5:01 pm

The string could be just at the edge...not really slipped off yet...but it might not have full contact with the saddle.

I just bought a new guild and i started playing it and from frets 12-15 or so you would get a twangy buzz noise.. I restrung it and that didnt do anything so i brought it to get looked at. and i guess when it gets cold enough the trust rods or whatever there called bend inside the neck of the guitar so you got to get them tuned back into place..
