QUOTE (kyldeee @ Sep 8 2008, 12:24 PM)  Is this because of a low/high action, or because I just changed my strings and they are still kinda loose  Cheers  this is usually a reason. Set your action higher especially if you put thicker strings. Your strings could be touching the frets and that's the common reason for this -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

To work around this you do not only have to raise the strings, you would also have to adjust the curve of your neck, otherwise the string action gets way to high (as you found out yourself now). But my question is, if you only hear this buzzing when you play your guitar acoustic, what exactly is your problem then? Most electric guitars buzz a bit if they are not played through an amplifier, but when you play them through your amp you don't hear any buzzing anymore. As long as there is no buzzing when you play your guitar the way it is meant to be played things would be fine for me.

Doing a setup is a painful trial and error process that can take two days if you haven't done it before. But in the end once you do it once, you will do it much faster second time. Just needs some practicing and feel. Bridge height and truss rod should be adjusted carefully together in very small increments and let the wood settle for an hour or two. Then do it back again until you find the sweet spot.
Or you can get it done by a guitar tech, and pay a small fee

Well I would suggest investing in a proper guitar setup to avoid that buzzing (if its possible)..Its a combination of bridge height , truss rod and other stuff that can be setup..

Is the truss rod/neck bowed? The neck should be bowed a little to allow strings not to buzz when frets are pressed. If you have buzzing issues on all the frets, specially if buzz progressing as you go upwards the neck then truss rod needs adjustment. And by adjustment I don't mean to turn it around randomly. If you don't know what are you doing, it is always better to take it to shop and say to guitar tech exactly what is the problem so he can worked it out.
