Michael Kelly Patriot
please help with my guitar poblem - buzz strings?
Hi. i have a gibson les paul replica guitar called a michael kelly patriot. in the bottom to strings some of frets give this horrible buzzing sound. i think this is because the strings are awfully near the neck. I may be wrong but if i slightly raised the bridge should that fix my problem? because its a les paul type the bridge looks really easy to adjust. Or should i take it to guitar shop and get it fixed? (because its fairly new the warrenty should cover it)
Thank you for any advice
There can be a number of reasons for this:
The neck relief has changed. A neck shall be almost perfectly straight with just a tiny up-bow. Some times the neck bows the other way, pulling the strings too close to the fretboard. This can result from changes in humidity/climate and/or change to lighter strings (even down tuning).
Fortunately, this is easy to fix as long as you know what you're doing. It is just a matter of adjusting the neck truss rod.
Another common cause for fret buzz is that you have some kind of problem with your string. However, this is highly unlikely here, since you have more than one string buzzing.
Yet other reasons may be one or more frets coming loose. Usually they lift at the edges, causing buzzing on the outer strings. If you have buzzing on just one or two frets on one or two strings, this may be an issue.
Other reasons can be that the action (string height is set too low). As you said, it is easy to try setting the bridge higher. However, I would look at the neck relief fist.
More possibilities: On some occasions you get a sharper bend at the neck on glued in necks at the body/neck joint. This works somewhat similar to a changed neck relief, but is is not possible to fix it with the truss rod. If this is the case (this is not uncommon on cheaper guitars with glued in necks), the you only fix is to raise the action (bridge).
Since there's warranty still, I'd definitely take the guitar to the store and let them have a look at it. It is probably a very easy fix.

Patriot Reign $10.99 When Bill Belichick arrived in New England, the Patriots were a laughingstock, an organization with a losing record and a roster of overpaid, underperforming players. So how did a head coach with a questionable record transform this team, garner three Lombardi trophies in four years, and -- with the Pats' 2005 Super Bowl win over the Philadelphia Eagles -- cement the team's place as an NFL dynasty? With unprecedented access granted by Belichick and his staff, author Michael Holley spent two years with the coach, his team, and his brain trust. Holley provides insights into how Belichick and his coaching cabinet prepare for opponents, evaluate talent, run the draft, and design their offensive and defensive schemes. Patriot Reign captures Belichick at his most candid, and what emerges is a portrait of a complicated man who is cerebral, yes, but also tough, demanding, stubborn, funny, profane, and a master strategist. Frank, uncompromising, and stunning, Patriot Reign is required reading for football fans who want to understand what makes a champion tick . |
