Works fine although I'm now suffering from Fret Buzz, I think due to the shorter Tuner post. I've reduced the string length as much as I dare, which has helped a bit but it's still not great? Anyone with any experience of installing these had the same problem, and more importantly come up with a solution?? Do not generally do my own set ups, so please keep this as simple as poss.

Mr. Foxen Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 String buzz won't be to do with the tuner post, since hte nut determines the height. Is it just buzzing when detuned? Might need to raise your nut or replace it, if you are using the same strings. Going Graphtec is good because the string can slide through easily.

With the old posts the sting is pulled down to the bottom of the post, so is getting taut and seems to stop the buzz. With the hipshot, I'm only getting a couple of turns around the post and it doesn't seem to get as taut after the nut. If I depress the string after the nut, ie press it down, the buzz improves. Raising the nut may well be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Those are tension changes, which also change the tuning. Need to find what it is buzzing on. Sure it isn't part of the mechanism that is moving? You can crudely test the nut raise hypothesis by putting a piece of thin plastic under the string in the nut slot. If you nut is loose, can put a shim under one end of the nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's a shim?? many thanks btw!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A shim is a thin piece of material but between two pieces as a spacer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
