iamapirate Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 OK, so I've just re-strung and tuned up my jender american standard jazz with medium guage XLs and I keep getting a buzzing from the nut on the a-string! I think it's a bit loose up there, but I'm not sure what I can do about it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Is there a good break angle on the A behind the nut? Is it wound to the bottom of the peg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcrow Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 (edited) [quote name='alexharvay' post='518255' date='Jun 19 2009, 11:56 AM']This solves all my A string buzzing.[/quote] some users have fitted a string guide washer similar to the one on the D and G for the A to help give a better break angle over the nut..ideally it should also take in the E so that the forces are balanced but making sure the string is wrapped well down obviously did the trick Edited June 20, 2009 by mrcrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
