I am looking for some advise on some string buzz, as I have limited experience with guitar I wanted to check my though process. I installed an after market nut on my TLA-1 and when I play the open E string I get a buzzing noise. This only happens when I play the string with any force.
I believe the issue may be that due to the nut height the string hits the wood behind the nut on the way to the tuning peg. I did not take any material of the nut when installing it. I get no buzz when I fret any other place on the neck and play a note. I also have no other issues with any other strings buzzing when being played open or fretted (none of these touch the wood behind the nut).
Would like to get some thoughts about this. Do you think this is cause of the issue? What are my options? Change out to a new nut seems like the logical step. Only thought is I didn’t alter the graph tech nut is a bone one higher?
