Fixing Guitar Fret Buzz : Fixing Guitar Frets

[daveishere911]

This guy's name is Dan Terry. He designed a line of super unique and high quality guitars. I'm going to get flamed for saying this, but this man is NOT an idiot.

[Nevermindrock4ever]

[jehovahuponyou]

[nooshkababooshka]

its obviously "cool" to bag out the people that fix your guitar. Until you can do it yourself shut the fuck up and pay for this guys dinner

[Kingddd333]

What is an artist/designer doing with fretwork?

[666tellme]

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[AxeAttack65]

Doesn't this guy scallop the fingerboards for Yngwie? I heard he did a mean set-up for Joe Satriani!

[DarkdeviI725]

This guy scares me and my guitar will have nightmares for weeks.

[2408840]

[hammaann]

[reynolds69]

[PoundcakePlaysMW2]

God expert village sucks...

[slimmetalpickin]

This turd is never touching my guitar. There are not even words for what a fool this guy is. What the hell is expert village trying to do here.

[tefolase]

can someone help me how to fix the 20th fret??

[bradh716]

More nonsense from expertvillage.

[hockeylvn]

well thats for a high fret out of place what about crown and polish after leveling for older worn frets ( and not worn out enough for a refret of the neck)

[multi3xodus]

Whats the name of that gutiar, looks cool

[J0S30BDULIO]

My Guitar has way up the frets what you recomend me all the frets buzz and all are out o place1

[jonahguitarguy]

I'm sorry, after seeing 3 of his vids. This guy is a bozo he should be imprisoned for his atrocities.

[shotgunwalter]

David, you can file a fret very minimally, but it needs to be "crowned" so the added width from filing, doesnt affect string to fret contact point, and ensures the contact point is still in the middle or "crown" of the fret. But new frets are always a more quality fix, but sometimes cash and finding a luthier you can trust is an issue. Great to hear you are a Banjo luthier.

[cerwinthedoc]

hey noobs, after you file down the frets with a flat fiel you re-crown them, which means file them back down into their original rounded shape with a crowning file.

[a111111ex]

this guy works like a savage, he is real sloppy, uses crap tools, doesnt protect the guitar enough..etc...

[J0S30BDULIO]

yep I dont like the way he uses that screw driver.

[nolobede]

@a111111ex

I agree, I've seen a couple of other videos already and I wouldn't let him near my guitars. I'd bet anything he's had several complaints of damage from slipped tools and such. It is LAZY to not do the job the right way. He could have just as easily stuck a piece of soft wood, or rubber, etc to raise the strings. he's just not good.

[Skatinima]

@a111111ex It's expertvillage, couldn´t expect nothing more

[david1513]

id never use a file on my banjo's i build "ever", a new frets will cure the problum, a filed down frets is wider could change the key sound,

[TheMadMusicMan]

Unless someone makes pre-cut frets you're gonne have to do some work. If you know how to do it right, you won't have problems.

[Fanatical86]

P.S: be informed that the reasons of fret buzz could be many, in fact more than one reason could manifest in your guitar at the same time.

[McDallen19]

Scary, nothing to do on your vintage guitars if your not very selfsecure and have a good selfconcisnes,,, -_-

[bloc22]

i dont want to hurt my fender telecaster! this is pretty scary.

[teddys15]

This is scary - dont do this on your vintage Les Paul.

[greenxgreenman]

expert village's videos are actually pretty good... not until they divided 1 video into 500 parts!

[nighthawk73x]

o ikno right i hate how they have like a million vids of one thing

[profchaos33]

you crazy old man!

[LipGlossBand]

my E string buzzes when i play it open, how to i fix that?

[jlslvr]

by sucking on it

[fkBowdown]

bro dose it buzz when your amps loud

[SlaytanicBrad]

the text was never in the way during crucial parts of the film, you can get the just of it by seeing what he does before the text blocks any view. This was helpful. Thanks a mill. I'm trying to fix my B.C. Rich guitar cause it's in rather crappy condition so this was helpful.

[luttman23]

can't see anything with all that text all over the screen

[theraytex]

never waste a good scrwewdriver it dosent mark much at all :)

[theraytex]

just beat it with the back of a vice grips it s file realy!!!!

[lazrpo1nt3r]

Don't use a file, that'll give you room for error. Just use a plastic hammer or something to knock it back into place.

If something comes outof where it's supposed to be, put it back in...

[Fanatical86]

I agree with you.

Better use a plastic hammer rather than a file in most of the situations. It's NOT wrong to use a file, but it's easier to make mistakes, since frets can pop up in an angle so you might level a part where there is no buzz and hence create a new buzz spot. Files are more for experts which now what they are doing and have tons of experience behind them. Not everyday guitarists. Try with a plastic hammer first, if that does nothing... the file it is.

[niniman93]

could u explain the plastic hammer method.  i dont want to butcher my guitar using a file

[Fanatical86]

Would work only in the case if the fret/s is are out of place being HIGHER than the rest.

Do as shown in video to figure out which fret part or which frets are higher.

Then try and hammer them with a plastic (or even better a rubber hammer; there is little difference but the plastic on is harder than the rubber one).

Focus the beats on the part where the fret is higher than the rest.

In case the fret is sunk in you can do 2 things: Replace it, or file down ALL the frest (BAD)

[hahafender]

what kind of file do i need???

[classical193]

im in a jam i have a concert tonight but when i hit a open note all i hear is buzz when i fret it the buzz is less but is still there just a little it sounds like the buzz is coming from the bottom part of the bridge if i hit a note then slightly push my hand on the area of buzz it goes away but as soon as i lift it it is buzzing what can i do to fix this in the next 4 hours before the concert

[thefaketahare]
