When you post starts with "Geez...there's a lot of mythology running through this thread!"
and blow your own opinions and mythology all over your response what do you expect? You post came over as mean spirited so you can hardly moan when you get some back.
The bridge being to high will not cause buzzing all the way up the neck. I don't need to see the guitar to tell him, you or anyone that. Period.
I am 99% sure of the problem if the information he has given is correct. I don't need to see it. Why? because I see tens of guitars every week and build them for a living. I have done for many years. I advise blind when the problem is pretty obvious. Admittedly I always put a caveat on it until it's in my workshop. One thing I can say 100% is what the problem is NOT down to.
If putting you right so others don't go around proper gating more myths about stringing guitars and possible tuning problems makes me a "dick" so be it, I'm a dick.

His nut being poorly cut would not cause buzzing all the way up the neck. Period. I stated earlier in the thread that a decent setup would include adjusting the nut. If it hasn't been done he has been charged for work that has not been carried out. In which case he needs to get it done or get a refund. Period.

No I didn't miss it because I had already said it myself. The part about taking it back is to give them a chance to rectify or refund. If don't want your money back for services not supplied thats your business. Myself I like to get what I pay for and get payed fairly for what I do.
Bending the string at the post happens automatically when stringing a guitar. Bending the string at the exit point is a waste of time. In terms of who has wound the most strings onto tuners between members of this forum I would guess I'd be in the top two. To set the matter right you only need 2 or 3 turns on the post running the string down the post and can cut them flush at the exit point. Strings just don't slip on the post unless you wrap them a dozen or so times. Even then they would settle in. Some folks like a few more turns on the higher strings but it's really not required. Nylons are are different matter.

No I really am intrigued. I've done my own research including a degree in musical acoustics and its still unclear to me. Please enlighten me.
but when some one chimes in with a bit of attitude and starts banging on about "mythology" while parroting all the sensible stuff thats already been said and STILL manages to add two more bits of mythology/mis-information to the thread I do get the ump
