My First Build the GR-1SF

See if you can pinpoint where the high-pitched hum is coming from, that will most likely give you an idea on what's causing it, does the high-pitched hum sound like it's coming from the headstock end of the neck?, or does it sound like it's coming from the body of the guitar?


If it involves the strings, the high-pitched hum could be what I call Sitar-Buzz, which is sometimes caused by the string-slots in the nut, what happens is that the string vibrates against the side of the nut and makes a Sitar-like buzzing sound, a sure sign is that the string doesn't sustain for very long.

It's definitely the body end. Will dismantle her tomorrow and see what I can sus out... May have to get a genuine bigsby (not that it would be a bad thing haha)

No worries, well that rules out Sitar-Buzzing then, it might just be something as simple as a wire vibrating against the insides of the body of your guitar then.

I hope it's only something simple like that doc! Hope your build goes smoothly throughout
