definitely a damn good player, those are the dudes that you learn tons from, i just wanted to rock when i younger (whats a 7th mean?) and had some real bad teachers because of it, once i hooked up with the jazz instructors my playing got better by leaps and bounds, im sure hes eccentric as any...

wow that satin finish looks great, normally i like the really glassy look a whole lot more, but theres something about the satin that gives it almost a nice worn in and warm look without looking like (imo) a stupidly beat up relic'd guitar

damn that looks kinky

also thanks to everyone for your help and replies and all is well that ends well, im sure i could have tried for warranty work or such things but i think the universe might be telling me to let the floyd dream go for now... and even though things didnt work out for this guitar it showed me what...

unfortunately floyd nuts are slanted down towards the tuning pegs so reversing it would probably not give enough clearance, might be a fun experiment tho to see what it would do

haha thats great! never thought of customizing the truss rod cover... more stuff i dont need that ill spend money on XD

final update: put the guitar to factory spec and took it to a lutheir who checked all kinds of stuff and determined most likely theres sympathetic vibrations happening somewhere in the floyd bridge and would take a good deal of searching to determine the exact cause. contacted the vendor today...

Look closely at the nut and the arc of the nut slots the bass side appears to be lower than the treble with the treble seeming to go off of the radius

sorry im all scatter brained i may have mistyped ive literally been neglecting sleep trying to fix this, the problem is not so much open string buzz i can still play at a reasonable strength and those wont buzz but frets 1-7 on the low E and A buzz terribly. the nut looks uneven and im taking...

i will say the bridge has ALOT of output so i could see with the right amp settings that pushing the amp just enough to make an audible difference depending on where the gain and volume are all set. i found with my \m/ bridge pup i liked it a bit lower than it came stock. if u want to be very...

so update: i had my guitar at work (good job) and was just looking around it and discovered the nut is slanted in the slot and it is lower on the bass side. could this be a possible cause? going to remove my shim and make sure i didnt cause that and if it is still the same will shim only the...

so i just tried shimming the nut with a business card because im running out of ideas, i could be mistaken but it seems to have slighty lessened the buzz, it is still there if i pick harder than SUPER soft but maybe progress? have to go to work now but might try shimming it further when i get...

like 95% sure, it goes away if i pick further up the neck above the 24th fret or higher (guessing because of greater string tensioin at that spot when fretting), also i can reliably move my ear around the frets when fretting and the noise is always coming a fret or two ahead of the fretted note...
