Many people call to ask for advise... A frequently asked question is about "how to prevent fret buzz?". Below, you'll find some clues for "emergency rescue": If your instrument is buzzing in the lowest notes, your neck is probably too tense - is it buzzing towards the 12. fret, it is probably a lack of tension, combined with too low action at the bridge. Anyway, if you have an electric instrument, first check your pickups distance to the string... Your pickups are magnetic, causing string-pull that may create buzz - and strange harmonics. Singlecoils (Strat/Tele etc.) cause more string-pull than humbuckers (Les Paul etc.). Therefore, I'd recommend starting with "pickup adjustment check". Below, you'll see an attempt to show how an OK pickup adjustment may appear on a Strat.

Inside your guitar neck, you'll find a truss-rod, usually an adjustable one. Turn the screw counterclokwise for neck releif - clockwise to tighten your neck. 1/4 turn at a time, should be fine. To measure neck tension, you can use f.ex. E6-string (push down in first and for example 12-14. fret simultaneously- picture below left) check distance from top of 5-7th. fret up to the underside of the string. This should equal approximately the thickness of your G3/D4- string. If the string touches 5. fret, your neck is too tight - if the distance is far more than the thickness of you D4-string, your truss-rod needs tightening. The truss-rod adjustment screw is generally located in one of the fretboard ends, some times underneath a cover. WARNING! Don't force this screw too much! If you destroy the screw/threads you'll face a more sever problem- Then I'm afraid you'll need to show up at the luthier's anyway.... And, of course, you are welcome to have your instrument set up by us - our personel are "wizards". If your tubeamp is making funny noises, maybe we have some hints for you here...
