does anyone know how to fix fret buzzes?

press the string down more
you might not be pressing it down hard enough
usually on the low E string it buzzes cause you might've hit it too hard or you pressed it close to the edge of the board
I don't know the whole of it
go figure neutral

well mines mainly on the 12th fret on the D and G string

When mine started buzzing real bad after I restrung it once, I took it to get it repaired.. They said the bar that runs through the fretboard just needed twisting or something. confused
So they fixed it... And when I got it back... it still buzzed. So I dunno. sweatdrop

either you're not pushing the string down far enough or the action on your guitar may need to be raised a wee bit

either the action is too low or you need to get a fret job

that makes it sound SO dirty, but yeah, i agree. that or it's MY current problem, it needs a new nut. my first three strings wore too far into the nut and now no matter how high the action is, it hits a fret.

Your string action is probably too low. Get it checked out.

yup, you need to get your frets leveled. no amount of action hightening will change that...unless its like an inch off the fretboard, but who plays like that??

scalloping has nothing to do with it...uneven frets are uneven frets no matter how much wood you take out from between the frets

well i got one solution for u. now if ur lazy and broke, or u dont have a way to go to the musicstore to get it checked and repaired. just tune ur guitar to higher notes so that when the string tightens it doesnt even buzz atall.
