A guitar that I built for a friend has developed a buzz on the 4th string, but only when fretted at the 1st fret. It really sounds like the buzz is coming from the saddle/bridge area, but I've confirmed that the string's ball-end is firmly seated between the bridge plate and bridge pin. Any suggestions? Thanks, Chris |

You might try Putting a fret rocker on the second fret. They always seem to sound like they comming from the bridge. |

Very often I've seen kinks in the strings from pressing too hard or being bumpe, or it's a new string that was unwrapped incorrectly. If the kink is right over the fret it will cause noting out. Changing the string or rubbing the string firmly with a screwdriver handle will fix it it if that's the case. |
