My taylor 110..............
I had it setup at a store and they did a poor job. Anyway---since the action was high on the high e string I decided to see if the shimmed the saddle and sure enough---there was a thin strip of wood underneath. Ok--now after taking that out, the high e is almost to spec, but just a tad high (just a little above 2/32) but the low E is a little low (just a little below 3/32). The buzzing is now much worse!!!!

Maybe somebody can make a guess as to what's goin on.

I get big time buzzing on the open D. D also buzzes good bit on the 1st fret little on the 2nd then smooths out. Not really any on the Low E. Open A is ok but starting at the 2nd or 3rd fret it starts buzzing and at the 4th fret---big buzzing! 5th on up on the A it starts getting better. B ok open but buzzes 1st and 2nd fret and high E is fine. What in the hell is going on here? The most obvious and worst buzzes are the open D and fretted A. Any idea what's going on here????

doesnt sound right that certain strings are buzzing and others arent.... i dont know enough to say for sure but all i can think of is your saddle or nut are not set up right, or your neck is warped.. cant tell much

theres a site out there, issac always links to it... it tells you what the cause of buzzing is after you go through a series of questions- someone will help me out and put it up here

i hope

Before you go to far and accidentally screw something up, take it back to the store and explain yur situation. If they cannot help at that store, ask around and find another music shop with a good reputation and see if they can solve your problem. Also try Taylor's website:

Go about half way down the page to find the 'how to'. Or just hit 'ctrl and F' then type buzzing. Hope this helps dude!

I AGREE, TAKE IT TO AN AUTHORIZED TAYLOR REPAIR CENTER AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT OUT. YOUR SADDLE MAY NOT BE SITTING PROPERLY. HAVE YOU TRIED A NEW SADDLE?

Did you get it figured out yet myonlybliss?

Not yet unfortunately. I don't know what the f to do. The saddle has already been adjusted so I think it is too low. But the guitar really buzzes.

Did you take it to an authorized dealer? Also, did you buy it new? If so contact Taylor, I'm sure they'll help.
