The 05 sounds like an acoustic guitar with NO BUZZ AT ALL. Also the wires inside not being attached and/or suspended so they don't touch the body of the guitar is a problem. Problems I have found include the pickup switch rattling in the middle position and on newer models with the plastic battery holder - it's not held tight and rattles. I'd suspect it's the contacts of the switch that are bouncing around just a bit. I don't expect it to be an actual wire moving around, since those types of switches don't have the wire connected to any moving part of the switch. I haven't taken it apart, and it might be hard to tell what exactly is wrong even if I did. However, I think it's a touchy thing, and it'll be back. Eventually, it went away, and I couldn't get it to do it anymore. I was able to make it come and go by moving it to or away from the middle position, and I did this several times. In the up and down positions, I get no buzz. When the pickup selector is in the middle position, I get the buzz. It seems that it's actually related to the pickup selector switch - the full sized switch that selects the magnetic pickups, not the little switch for selecting the piezo output. The buzz was quite pronounced the other night, and I was able to start fiddling around with the bridge, knobs, etc., on the guitar to see if I could get it to go away. It's been a while, but I made some progress on this issue. Unfortunately, I won't be dismantling my HBII anytime soon - there are already too many things in pieces in my basement, and I don't need another! I'll be interested to hear all ideas and solutions. When I lay the guitar flat, there could be just enough gravity to pull that "whatever it is" away from whatever it is rattling against. I haven't taken it apart yet, but I'm sure it could be something like a wire just barely touching the body on the inside of the cavity, or a piece of slightly loose hardware under the bridge. That is, if I strum it just so, and get it going, it will stop as I move the guitar to a more horizontal (flat) position so that I can hear it better. One thing that doesn't help matters is that it goes away if you move the guitar around. I suppose it could be the set screw for the bridge, and I could have a look there. I checked the intonation screws, and I don't think it's that (though I did see that on a Gretsch Electromatic once). It's definitely not fret buzz, and it doesn't matter if I put some pressure on the string. Anyway, I have the same problem, and I also can't pinpoint it. If you are unfamiliar with making these adjustments, we recommend that the guitar be taken to a qualified repair center.My HBII has individually adjustable saddles (maybe because it has the gold HW upgrade?). Remember to tune and retune until the process is complete. Remember, the individual string's intonation may be adjusted by moving the flat head screws on the inside edge of the bridge (facing the treble pickup) in and out with a flat head screwdriver.įor setup specifications, use the following links: Start with the treble side and then go to the bass side, return to the treble side for one last check. Match the octave (fretted) note of the first and sixth strings with their corresponding 12th fret open harmonics by shortening or lengthening the strings with the adjusting screws using the allen wrench provided. The individual string's intonation may be adjusted by moving the flat head screws on the inside edge of the bridge (facing the treble pickup) in and out with a flat head screwdriver.Ī strobe tuner or other electronic tuning device should be used. Intonation can be adjusted using the two allen set screws facing the tail end of the guitar. Bear in mind that the brass studs are a soft metal that could be prone to marring if adjustments are made too forcefully. Next, using a Quarter, perform the necessary height adjustments to the bridge. To adjust the mounting studs, first detune the instrument to relieve all possible string tension on the bridge. Tuning and Setup Hints If you are unfamiliar with making these adjustments, we recommend that the guitar be taken to a qualified repair center.Īction height is adjustable by raising or lowering the studs that the bridge sits on. PRS Bridges are available to purchase through your Authorized PRS Dealer, or in our West Street East Accessory Shop. This bridge can be adjusted in the same fashion as our PRS Adjustable Stoptail.
