Question:

Electric Guitar, buzzy/twangy strings. How to fix?

I have a fender strat. 4 of my strings have a bad buzzy/twangy sound whenever I hold down any fret but sound perfectly clear when I am not holding down any frets. Its on G, D, A and low E. Its worst on low E. I know I can get it fixed at music store but I don't have any money to do that right now. So I am just trying to find out if I can easily fix it for myself. Also the strings are fairly new, so I know it isn't connected to wear and tear on them.

  1. Oh my god, you guys are useless.

    1. Read up on electric guitar tuning on the net and if you're serios about guitar, learn to adjust everything on it yourself. You need the money you'd pay for a "fender repair station/dealer" to buy new strings, effect pedal blabla.

    2. If he had fret buzz he would have said fret buzz. The sound your e string makes is probably similar to a sitar. I have the same freaking problem and from what I've read about it, it might be the slot where the string sits in the nut. It's probably not cut at the right angle.

    Good luck and answer back if you fix it.
