Opened and set up guitar last night (adjusted truss rod and tuned) but I can't get rid of a fret buzz around 13th fret, any opinions?

I never had fret buzz and my action was perfect. That's what I liked most about it. Might want to have a tech look at it. But if you want to do it on your own, you'll need to raise the action with another truss rod adjustment. try 1/4 turn at a time. Have you looked down the neck from the body? Is the neck straight? It should be almost perfectly straight without any bumps. If it's not straight, and you still have the option, I would return it and try again. Every guitar is different. Hope this helps.

Hei! I have the same situation here. Thought it was sort of bad luck for me.

I got this guitar for my boyfriend and he told me he was having problems with a string not sounding right, which may be the same issue you're having. He took it to guitar center and they said the guitar was just cold and dehydrated. With this crazy winter, they said a lot of guitars were having this problem. We put it in a room with a humidifier for a few weeks and it's back to normal.

The first one I ordered, had major buzz. Returned it and bought one from a local store. Not nearly as much buzz, but some none the less. Not really happy with this guitar's sound :~(

I'd say take it to a guitar shop. Won't be too expensive but sounds like something is loose inside our your string is to close to the Fret board

Only own one pair. I don't have any issues with buzzing. I'm sure you've tried, but it's worth asking: 1. Did you try them from a different source, amp, cable?2. Make sure the cables is inserted fully. I noticed one of the cables had a very snug fit. Hope you can solve the issue.

I would first try adjusting the neck tension rod with the head under the plastic plate just about the nut of the fret board. I would be very reluctant to try to deepen the cuts in the nut, you'll probably end up with fret buzz. A machine shop should be able to straighten the bend of the bridge that the strings rest on. You might also research a replacement bridge system that is either adjustable or just simply lower. I was fortunate that mine cam to me pretty close to perfect. Mine has a great action. Good luck, DOC.

Mine has played beautifully, right out of the box for two years. No seasonal adjustments or anything. At this point, I'd be afraid to touch the truss rod, lest I break the magic spell.

I don't find any muting of the highs. I have a number of acoustic guitars.....Gibson, Martin, Epiphone, Lag, Washburn.........and, after trying many strings, they all have EXP 16 strings on them. They are really great strings!

I got quite a few usable sounds with mine. Just takes some time adjusting tone. Make sure your guitar is sending a good signal....string height above pickups...etc. You might try a preamp or a wah wah in front of the D-1.

Find an experienced acoustic guitar tech. / luthier in your area. Requires experience and you need to know what you're doing. The nut probably will need to be filed ( special files) and the truss rod adjusted to your choice of strings. Not a DIY.

I don't recall it having anything but possibly a model number on the box. I sent mine back because there was a deformation in the neck above the 12th fret causing severe fret buzz. The guitar was absolutely beautiful though. They were out of stock so I couldn't get a replacement. Hope yours works out for you.

I don't let it touch the strings ... Only clean the fretboard when the strings are off

Make sure all of your equipment is properly connected. Do not use a device that removes the ground on power cords. I had a computer power supply plugged in with a ground eliminating adapter and it created a lot of buzz. I set the volume, treble, and bass all to 12:00 on the speakers.

Mine has no buzzing. Don't know how to prevent if you have it. I figured I would return to amazon if I ended up up with one that buzzed.

It could be a number of things; perhaps your amp or guitar settings. May I suggest the clean amp effects to enhance and noise canceling as well.

Just got one on Tuesday 2/9/10. Same buzzing problem, but found out it was getting some type of interference from our space heater. Look for something that may be causing the same thing in your home. We turned off the space heater and now we're colder, but NO BUZZING. Hope this helps!

Absolutely, positively experience a major buzz. Tightened every screw on the cabinet (many were less that tight) but it would not go away. 5th fret A (E string) was the worst. I had no choice but return it.

If you tune it like a regular guitar, e.b. EADGBE, the strings end up being too floppy to play well. Tune to ADGCEA which is transposed "up a fourth" or like a guitar with capo on 5th fret.

It is worth the money, you do have to do a little tweaking though. I bought some 60 grit sandpaper and took about 1/2 off the bottom of the saddle (the white thing that the strings go over) take off a little at a time keeping the saddle straight on the sand paper until you reach the right height. You may have to remove the strings three or four times, you will know when you get there by how the strings feel as you are pressing them, Don't go so far that you get any fret buzz though!

I actually didn't. I suppose I should have tried a better pickup, more shielding in the guitar cavity and better cables. Also, moving further away from the computer may help... or from the amp, for that matter. I don't use the Plug anymore.
