Guitar tech in the Knoxville area. A specialist with Gibson electrics would be even better.

Come on guys and gals. My baby needs a little help.

Guitar Center is off of Cedar Bluff if you want to go with a big, well funded national chain.

If you want to use a local company, Pick and Grin has been operating at the same location for over 40 years.

BTW, does Angus know that you have his axe?

At Guitar Center, there is a guy that runs an independent repair/tech service... think his name is Jim (?). He's right next to the guitar effects counter. Dude knows his stuff and is very reasonable. I've had him set up and work on three of my own, and they have been different instruments when he finishes with them. Highly recommended.

I do love guitar center. This is where I bought my SG and my sons Hellraiser.

I've got a little fret buzz and believe the problem is the nut. Every thing has been adjusted in trying to eliminate the buzz. I've read a lot of Gibson owners have bad to have the nut replaced or shimmed to eliminate the buzz.
Have either of you ever encountered fret buzz?

Thanks for advice.

Yes, with my LP. He fixed it without further issues.

Thanks kiddiedoc! I will give him a try. That's what I wanted, a fellow Gibson owners insight.

Two of mine developed the fret buzz when the weather/temperature started to drastically change. Had to adjust the truss rod on both.

 

[malinoisvol]

Yeah, I tried that also, made it worse. And right now, my bridge is at its highest point that will still allow the puck ups to maintain a tollerable gap. I even ran my strings backwards through and over the tail piece (ala Zach Wild).
I must say the little fret buzz has caused me to do a lot of study on guitar dynamics, and now its off to a pro. This is not a top end SG, but I sure do enjoy her.

Just get an acoustic

Certainly. I believe he adjusted my truss and raised the nut. My buzz was around frets 1-2 on the E/A strings.

Thats my living room guitar, where I try out new melodies and different chord progressions before trying to remove my windows with the amps. Lol

Thanks kiddiedoc for the advice. I took my new SG to him today and he installed a schaeler roller bridge and set it up again. This new SG makes the blood flow.
