Re: Does the carbon neck ever move? (buzz related)

Well: with 10's, tuned in E, the problem persists.  Next step will be having the frets checked by a luthier. Or, perhaps, the neck needs a shim at the place where it is bolted to the body? Getting back to my initial question: Is it fair to assume that the neck itself does not change shape? (other th...

Re: Does the carbon neck ever move? (buzz related)

Hi Guys! Thanks again for the replies and with that shedding some light on the Kahler mystery.  I would also expect the zero-fret to only affect open strings, but perhaps there's some subtle mechanism I am overlooking.

Hi all! I have an Excalibur guitar with the 10/90 carbon neck. I really like the guitar for many reasons, but unfortunately it has a lot of string buzz that Im trying to get to the root cause of. - The guitar is tuned in C standard, with a set of 13's on it (so fairly heavy, but nothing extreme, ten...
