Question Posted Monday December 3 2007, 8:52 pm

Okay, I just bought a guitar, its a Schecter Dimond Series, and when I strum its makes a sound like the string is hitting one of the frets. It is in tune, and I would like to know how I could solve this, It is extreamly annoying. Please help

Ignatz answered Tuesday December 4 2007, 10:19 am:
Are you strumming in an open tuning, or playing a chord? Chances are, one of the frets was installed unevenly and is bumping against the string. Pluck each string in turn and see which one buzzes, then play that string from lowest to highest fret to see where the buzz stops.

Where did you huy the guitar? If you bought it at a music store, you should be able to take it back and have a luthier file down the fret. I wouldn't recommend doing it yourself, as it requires a special very fine file.

Hope this helps.
