Thanks for having this video, I have made some mistakes on my fretboard exactly as you said I sanded the wood instead of the nut. I do like working on my own stuff tho. Thanks for sharing your knowledge sir. I’m subscribed!
anytime brother....and yes....we have all done that. I have made plenty of mistakes working on guitars but after awhile you figure it all out. Thanks my friend.
Thanks Taylor!
The high E string buzz has been a headache! I will try it for sure, finally I found the solution. I don't wanna get rid of my Dean for such matter
Thanks again!
Not a problem my friend. Yeah you can fix just about any guitar and make it playable how you want it. I hope this helped.
Thanks.. i never actually thought of using aluminum foil. I've been playing on floyd rose guitars most of my whole life of 41 years. and just now coming across a this particular issue. "only at the first fret, only the high e string" on my Peavey Tracer. It's just gotten wore out. I'm sure this will work. I just wanted to thank you for educating me on it FIRST. And yes I feel like a jackass for cranking on the truss rod a 100 times before realizing this. I didn't hurt it though..
Thats funny. I think we have all cranked on a truss rod at one point or another. Yeah the string...especially the high E after a will groove the nut just enough to cause it to buzz on the first fret.
I'm at work rn and I am excited to go home after seeing this. Hope this works 😌
It will work. But....let me know if you have any issues.
Good stuff, and I totally agree with you - do the setup yourself, it's usually not rocket science!
Thanks man. It is not rocket science but so many people I know are afraid to even touch their guitar except to play it. Baffling.
Hey it did work by the way.. thanks!
Great. Glad it worked brother.

Dont grind the metal nut... simply shave off some wood beneath it! A nice sharp chisel makes it like a knife in warm butter and you van shave very thin layers. Much simpler.
I personally think the high nut decision is perfectly logical, easier to take away than accurately add material.
Yeah, but being a wood worker myself.....most cannot do that....and if they screw that up they have an issue where as they can always buy a new nut.
What kinda Ibanez is that?
This is the Ibanez 1120. They made this specific one for only one year....2021 I believe...and it is one of the best Ibanez's and best guitars I have ever bought....and it was only 1400 new. This is the Indo version of the 5320 which is 2000 and an amazing guitar. I have both.
Island guitar I see.
Yes. the Jimmy Buffet
good advice. Never thought about using aluminum foil as a shim. Sorry had to giggle a bit after you said " Shim all my nuts". Sorry
Thank brother. Sometimes you have to shim your nuts. that is just a part of life. And yes aluminum works great for nuts and necks.
1st fret buzz? Sounds like you need to shim the nut.
Yes shim the nut. I just realized it said shim the neck. thanks
GET TO THE POINTTT
Ok. Sell you guitar and buy a better one.....or listen to the explanation of why you could be having these issues. All the great comments I have gotten from this video....then I get yours. there is always one.
@@TraceTaylor3I appreciate all the little details dude. It was worth watching the whole video. Thank you for your hard work. People forget that you don’t HAVE to make a video for the public.
@@deadxbyxdawn306 Thank you my friend. I greatly appreciate it.
