Acoustic scorr

[Risedfromthedead]

My guitar is "scorring" (dont know what to call it on english) when I play. It doesnt matter If I have 0,11 or 0,12 it makes noise anyway.

Should I leave it to the store and let them high up the strings from the neck?

I have no idea how to get rid of those innoying sounds!
Please help me!

mayhaps you should heighten your action?

scorring be buzzing I suppose

fretbuzz..

 

[Risedfromthedead]

Fretbuzz... yeah, I suppose so!

So the height is the reazon of fretbuzz?
Should I change height on the stable(?) or near the head

Is it expenive to leave it to the store?

It's pretty annoying to heighten the strings.... On my guitar the neck pickup was a bit loose and buzzed.... that might be the problem as well

You adjust action with the bridge, not the bone at the headstock..

(the bridge is at the bottom end of the guitar) ..

on an acoustic you might have a cuople of big screws that will adjust the height.. if not .. pawn it and buy a better guitar ? =p

I got this Cort earth 500 on my eighteenth birthday...
So Il hope I can find a solution.

loosen the strings, remove the little plastic bridge, put something underneith it to raise it up a bit...

Alright dude I work at a guitar shop and I get this all the time..

First off if you know how try to adjust the truss rod before you mess with the bridge. If you don't know what I'm talking about take it to a shop and let a pro handle it becuase you can make it worse.

Other then that BE CONSISTENT WITH STRING GUAGES!! You can't just swap them all the time.. must be set up for certian guages.

If I leave it to the store...
What will they do with it? Straighten the neck? Adjust what?

Im also curious what causes these fretbuzzing...

read that article, it should help you.. if your action isnt too low, then it probably is the truss rod.
