Good tip about the ambient environment. I just bought a beach guitar and it didn't occur to me that the store was air conditioned. Needless to say, on the hot humid beach there was a lot of fret buzz.

Thanks so much! Great video! Much appreciated 👍😊

Thank you! 😊

Great series of videos. I would definitely try the baking soda and superglue method myself, but put masking tape above and below the neck to make sure not to screw up your fretboard or finish. They actually used that to fill in pits on carbon fiber helicopter prop blades at one time.

Thank you! 😊 that's very interesting! It does form a very hardy material!

So helpful thank you! I've actually never set up my guitar 👀

[@ConorRocksYT]

Thanks! 😄

[@beatfrombrain]

What model of guitar is that? It's very cool...

[@ConorRocksYT]

Thank you! It's a 2011 Fender Marauder 😊

[@beatfrombrain]

@@ConorRocksYT Nice! It exists nicely between Strat and Jaguar. I wish they made a lefty version (I'm a lefty).

[@Mattvolko]

hey just asking, whenever i pluck the low e string it buzzes a bit is it worth to get it fixed?? I use a telecaster

[@ConorRocksYT]

If it doesn't bother you too much, then you can leave it. But, I'd always recommend getting it fixed if you can 😊. If it's a nut issue, then I'd take it to your local guitar store - but if it's something else you can always do a set up yourself!

[@Mattvolko]

i tried doing 2:18 on the low e string it barely moves, so i think it is actually a problem on the nut. thank you for the advice! might bring it to a guitar shop since im fairly new to guitars

[@greentroll9326]

i could do with a mate like you to set up my old vintage hondo 767 deluxe flying v lol

[@perkinsshaquan770]

I think I have this problem with my acoustic

[@ConorRocksYT]

Sorry to hear that! Most of these tips should work acoustics too!

I had all three of my guitars set up by GC and they all are fret buzzy and action way high . Wtf

[@YMSHE]

pro tip: dont give your guitars to techs at GC. they’re a huge corporation and dont have the time to test if someone is actually a good tech. Go see a specialist guitar repair shop, that’s where the real professionals are

[@SmokeWithMeInCT]

@@YMSHE never again. It was the biggest mistake I could of made

[@SmokeWithMeInCT]

@@YMSHEI def appreciate your videos. Very helpful .
