No Buzz Doesn’t Always Mean No Contact
A guitar can lose tone and sustain on certain frets—even when you can’t hear any buzzing. Are the strings touching the frets?
Or maybe you filed a nut slot slightly lower than planned. Is it still safe, or is the open string contacting the first fret?
Stop trusting your ears. Stop guessing.
The Guitars Done Right Buzz Probe gives you a definite answer in seconds.
Clip the alligator lead to the string and test. On an acoustic guitar, weave a thin six-inch steel rule through the strings behind the nut and attach the clip to the rule.
Checking farther up the neck? Use a capo.
If the light blinks, the string made contact. You have a problem.
No guessing. No wasted time. No overlooked fret contact.
Not compatible with coated strings..
