Fret dress, how ???

[gabrielnoel]

Hi, is me again, i´ve been playing my LP for a couple weeks, and suddenly noticed that the guitar has fret buzz in the D and G string on the 16 and 17 fret, it doesn´t buzz any other place, the neck is straight , so i was wondering if the honeydrop needs a fret level, and how can i do it? By the way the nashville tune o matic is too high...

i wouldnt try to do this myself with no experience... you can end up worse off than you already are lol... if you want to do anything at all you might consider tapping off the fretboard and polishing them up with some 0000 steel wool... you also might want to check your action, or give a tad bit of relief in the neck, that might solve the problem as well.

shit my guitar is getting worse, i relief the neck and still buzzing in the same area, i mean when i bend the string up and down, and the bridge is also to high, the post is as high as the ring of the pup

try dropping the tail piece down to a reasonable level, eye ball the bridge to where it looks right... tune up and play, if it buzzes raise the bridge bit by bit... you can tweak the relief during the process as well... your more or less learning how a setup works with hands on activity lol... it takes time, when i first learned how to set mine up i literally spent all day trying different setups until i got it juuuust right
