Quick test of an acoustic 3 stringer I just finished. Tuned GDg. A tad sloppy... using an 11/16 socket for slide : ) (you can still hear the high g buzz a bit... I gave up on finding it lol... it's like it's IN the neck... but there's no truss rod... oh well, keeps it lo-fi!).

I used to work at Guitar Center and I remember a rather nice Martin acoustic that had an unidentifiable buzz. All the other employees thought that it was a loose brace and was about to send it out to repair but, I finally found it to be a loose tuning peg. Just a suggestion.

What buzz? Sounds ace.

James, no offense taken. I'm only a perfectionist to a point lol. Kind of what draws me to CBGs! Good enough is done lol.

I really appreciate the kind words! Means a lot. From everyone : )

Oh! Very nice. Enjoyed that and the buzz didn't worry me at all. Just part of the overall earthiness.

Thanks, guys! Yeah the buzz makes it a fake reso or sitar-like lol.
