Hello, all,
I got a brand new 814ce dlx at GC about a month and a half ago. I played it in the music room, but it was kinda noisy, so, when I got it home, I noticed buzzing on 3rd, 4th and 5th strings - primarily the 4th. I messed with it a little - to no avail and took it back to GC and let their tech look it over. She said it wasn't going to be an easy fix and got them to order me another one. Two weeks later, it came in and I took it out of the box at the store and tried it out in the music room again - but this time I was alone. I finger picked, flat picked, plugged in and plugged in with earphones. I heard a little fuzz, but not the buzz I had heard on the previous guitar. I decided to take it home, change strings, hydrate it and mess with the truss rod, and let it settle for a couple weeks. I did all this, replacing the 12/53 Elixers with 12/54 DRs, keeping the room at 55-60% for a couple weeks and gave a little relief to the neck. Gradually, over the following weeks, the fuzz became a buzz just as bad as the first guitar. I really don't want to raise the action any more as it's already at my outer limit, but I really don't think it's that anyway. 3, 4 and 5 buzz all the way up the fretboard with 4 being the worst. it's gotten to where when I try to play anything now (especially plugged in) all I hear is buzz. I know I'm tuned in to it and focused on it, but, still it doesn't seem that the buzz should be that pronounced. I really want to love this guitar, but so far, I find myself laying it down and picking up something else with a clear sound. Any help would be very greatly appreciated.
