Neck relief

Re: Neck relief

Your a bit heavy on the left hand man. Only thing that helps keep your fingers from slapping every fret on your way up the neck is thicker strings. Or let loose with the death grip and stroke that neck gently.

Re: Neck relief

Ok

My guitar basically has a straight neck

.005” of relief at 8th fret

We’re talking straight

The nut is cut down super low

This is very very important make sure your guitar is in spec. I put mine pretty low with a set of files I got on Philadelphia luthier tools.

I set my action at 1/16 of an inch at the 15 fret.

She buzzes. The strings are low and everything is easy, but she only buzzes when unplugged. Sometimes that high e pentatonic bend will buzz out on me but through the amp it still sounds amazing.

Sometimes we hear things unplugged the guitar doesn’t actually put out

Re: Neck relief

There could be a subconscious tendency to hit the strings a bit harder when unplugged to compensate for the loss of sound when amplified. That will cause a noticeable buzz not heard when amped.

I happen to setup my low E a bit lower at 12th fret so that it buzzes abit without going dead. It adds zing on the treble frequency when played from the dirty channel.

Re: Neck relief

I pound my strings whether chords or single notes. I need about .010-.015 depending on the guitar and where the neck meets the body and I prefer my action fairly high.
