Sylvia (Ramo watch with right eye closed)

Thanks guys!

There's a couple of hours in between the recordings, it's suddenly hot as hell here so I had to resort to making some jorts (wonder where the ones I make always disappear over the winter...). They're not the same pants but the exact same model although different colour.

... or maybe they got destroyed in the middle of it and this is just a hastily cobbled up lie to hide what really happened...

I paused the Coroners playlist to watch your video., Just finished it, I like your strat songs more. :) good job on letting me know to look out for that inconvenience...

:) strat stuff is on backburner now, there's a buzz on the high E that I can't seem to get rid of. It seems to be worse in the more used spots so it might be that the frets are just so worn already :unsure: they don't look that bad but they're very thin frets to begin with.

that means it's time for a new guitar, I have a solution for you, sell the radio and buy the other strat. :) do you do lots of string bends?

Could just be fret sprout from a temperature change. When i had gotten my schecter 7 string fan fret it had fret buzz caused by that (no doubt from sitting in a warehouse and then getting sent all the way to Texas) that i took to a luthier to have it fixed.

are you from Texas? if so, what do you think of Texas heat speakers? I want straight from the horse's mouth. :)

Yeah the seasonal variation in the environment here is rather large. The outside temperature can vary between -30 and +30 degrees C within a year, and the heating required in the winter causes the relative humidity indoors to drop down to ~20%, and in the summer it can rise to 70% or so. I installed some hardwood flooring in the winter a couple of years ago and had a really tough time keeping it at 35% which was the recommendation. I also used to live in an apartment where the ventilation used to go out during the summer, and when that happened, the laundry just wouldn't dry. Like, at all.

So it might be that being shipped from Japan, sitting in Germany for a while and then coming to our madhouse has caused the wood to live enough for one of the higher frets to rise up.

Then yea, I would say 98% sure its fret sprout then. In my experience, if a set up won't take care of the fret buzz then that's usually the culprit. Wouldn't hurt to take it to a Luthier and have him check all the frets and make sure that none of the others are starting to do the same thing.
