ok so i have a buzz on a few open strings, but here's the weird thing:

e (0.0105) nothin
b (0.014) buzz
g (0.018) nothin
d (0.028) nothin
a (0.038) buzz
E (0.049) plenty buzz
B (0.062) nothin

isnt it weird? i mean, it buzzes a good some on the E, but nothing on the B?
its on a 7620. the neck is slightly reliefed, not much tho (i think).
no noticable buzz as soon as you fret the first fret, its only on open strings.

does anyone know what to do? :| i dont think i can heighten the floyd much more either or it will have a weirdly high angle.

Where/what is it buzzing at exactly? When you hit an open string, is it buzzing against the 1st fret? I suppose you could try shimming the locking nut.

[oompa]

yea i think so, cus as soon as i fret the first fret there be no buzz.

what is shimming the locking nut? :x

[OzzyC]

shim = putting paper/small piece of metal/whatever else under something to raise it up.

[oompa]

ok and what be the locking nut if i dont know english terms for everything?

should i put something in the..erf. "passage where the strings cross into the head" to.. "raise the action" up there sorta?

[OzzyC]

A locking nut is usually metal, and there are small clamps to keep the strings in place.

The locking nut is that thing at the top of your fretboard that the strings pass through.

Yours is locking because it "locks" with the screws and pads.

I don't mean to talk to you like you're stupid, I'm just explaining it

Yup, the 'passage where the strings cross into the head' seems about right. What you'd do is remove that, and like Ozzy said, add a small piece of say, tinfoil underneath the NUT and put it back together.

I'm not sure that makes sense to you... let us know.

EDIT: Also, you can check to see if the 1st fret is seated properly. e.g., isn't too high, causing the buzzing to happen.

haha dont worry mate, i have a hard time getting into all these guitar terms in english

ok, so i guess ill try screwing the thing off and add something under it to raise it alittle.

thanks everyone for the advices!

take aluminum foil and your locking nut (once you remove it)

i used a few sheets and gradually removed it until it was perfect
take a big pair of scissors and cut out exactly the shape of the nut out of the foil (just put the nut on top)

im sure there are other methods

extremely low action on my Jackson 6 as a result of this... awesome

(of course you can get it high if you want too, just my reason to shim was to get the action as low as possible... if it only buzzes on fret one (which it did for me) all you need to do is raise the nut and you can lower the action at the bridge)
