Telecaster MIM: All frets and strings buzz!

Re: Telecaster MIM: All frets and strings buzz!

As expected: I stand corrected. Nevermind though, I joined to learn... Thanks Doc for actually using the jelly between your ears when I seemingly can't... :/

Sometimes it truely seems like just jelly between my ears. Sometimes it seems like just open space.

I agree with gtrjunior...set your neck perfectly straight, then adjust saddle heights. If you still can't get rid of the buzz adjust the truss rod 1/4 of a turn to loosen it and create a very slight bow. And if that doesn't get rid of the buzz you may need to re-file the string slots in the saddles. Sometimes saddles have slots and sometimes they are smooth on top. Either of those may cause string buzz if they aren't properly slotted and/or relieved. Saddles need to be treated the same way nuts are, but in reverse, to get the best tone.
