Yep, good summary I think. I think it's the saddle...there's something off there with the saddle. The neck was a little up bowed so I thought that might be part of the problem but adjusting the trussrod and straightening it didn't help. There's also no frets touching that B string when fretted...

Yeah I know. But I'll do it myself. A good tech here will gouge me like you wouldn't believe. Absolute robbers. Anyway, I won't go on and on about it. The thread has served its purpose and I've got a basic approach worked out. Thanks everyone

Update...even diagnosing this thing is difficult for a low IQ fella like me. But I think I've narrowed things even further. The absolute worst manifestation of this problem can be heard when the B string is fretted at the 1st fret. So just plucking that note...that's a C...B string at 1st...

Yeah I can. Kind of busy with other work related stuff right now. So I might be a random while. The kind of sound you're describing isn't what I'm on about. No worries though. I'll be back when I have time. Thanks Drew.

Get the Gold one. That's the one I got years ago. I recorded a singer with it 15 years ago and he said it was the best he's ever sounded.

If you're hearing buzz you're hearing the wrong thing. I can't hear any buzzing. I'm gonna just do the saddle/ nut stuff when I get time and report back. No idea when I'll have time. I'll check in when I can here but in the meantime feel free to chat among yourselves etc and see what you come...

I wouldn't pay much attention to my comments about 800hz...(or to the year I bought my guitar in for that matter - saw your post about that earlier)...from memory that was a wild guess. Listen for the issue at 6:31 in the video. That's the issue I have. Frankly, that's all you need to know...

Well you can hear it in the video. It's rather hard to say exactly what freq it is since other fundamental notes from multiple strings are in the mix at the same time. It appears to be the combination of notes that create the issue...this overtone, harmonic tone, issue, whatever we are calling it.

I don't think you're correct there. I know it's a long thread with lots of rambling, but I've already mentioned that it is not microphone resonance. String harmonics yeah that's likely depending on how we define terms etc. It's not microphone resonance though, because as I said the issue occurs...

It is on the video I linked too. Listen to the 6:31 minute mark. That's the issue right there. So whatever that is...what's going on and how do you fix it is the question.

I play anywhere. Same issue. It's the guitar.

Setup, they were both pro setup. Probably long in the tooth now much like myself. So I will renew the setups and all that. I doubt my ears are too well tuned. The video example at 6:31 doesn't take special ears to hear. It's a great example and plain as day. I'll be back.... ...whenever I get...

So all guitars with a natural resonance of G will maybe ring out and exhibit this outrageous phenomenon. Or all guitars that resonate at G AND with saddle, nut, only saddle, only nut or both or both combined with some other X factor or any one of saddle/ nut and or combined with whatever unknown...

I'm getting the exact resonance/ issue as at 6:31 in that video when playing the chords the guy is playing. On both guitars. Anyway, thanks. I'll roll up my sleeves when I get some quality time and begin the saddle and nut appraisals. See you around the clubs.

Sure. I like to takes a gander at all angles and discuss a range of approaches, theories, speculations first. Including the curious detail regarding my 2 guitars and the guitar in the video all having the same issue. Got an acoustic laying around? Strum those last 2 strings like I mentioned...

I'm fine with replacing whatever I need to replace. But I'm interested in why both my guitars are doing this (a dread and a concert)...and the guitar in the video.

We'll struggle with terms and definitions to describe what I'm talking about until the end of time I suppose. But yes, if you're around 6:31 you'll hear it. The 6:31 you draw attention to is a classic example. Perfect example. You nailed it. That (and here come the words/ terms and vocab...

- no difference - no difference - no difference - not fully sure yet but nut and saddle appear fine - no problem - no problem What do you make of the video I linked? The video has a great example of what's happening. Can you hear it?

Maybe. What do you reckon is going on with the brand new guitar in the video in post #90?

Yeah.
