Cheap Buzzstops

[Noirie.]

Didn’t know where to post this but figured bound to piss someone off.

Harley Benton now do Buzzstops. Cost me £15, better than £40-50 elsewhere online.

Passing the savings onto youuuuuuu

Niiiiice, I always thought the original WHIZZO (lol) ones were so overpriced

Yeah man.

I’ve had one in the past which I got secondhand. This one worked out cheaper lol

I hate these tuners.

Gave up and gone for a bike ride and a pint instead

[Dillon]

I kinda wanted one, but shipping to the US is $36.85 But it turns out they're common on eBay.

Even the original Whizzo ones are now $30 anyway.

Strong work, everyone.

[Noirie.]

No strings now.

I hope both Pauls are fucking happy.

[Bacchus]

It's the only way to get rid of that buzzing sound.

[Noirie.]

Realised how retarded I am but at 24 years of age.

I can now restring Modern Tuners with ease. 👊�👊�👊�



You guys able to give any temp fixes for this tho?

Cannae afford taking it too a tech atm.

[Bacchus]

Nope.

You could take a nut from another guitar or order and install a new nut. They aren't tricky to do. No need for a tech.

[Noirie.]

Need a 42mm one. £5 online but the fuckers are outta stock.

[Bacchus]

Go all out and get a tusq one. You'll have more mojotoanz.

1) To take yours out take an utility knife and lightly slit along the border between the curved surface of the fretboard and the nut. Do that on both sides - on the side facing the headstock and on the side facing the 1st fret. Then do the same on the sides along the nut slot. You should do that in order not to chip fretboard if your nut is glued.

2) Then you need some square piece of wood and a hammer. Put a piece of wood against that side of the nut that faces the headstock and lightly tap on it with the hammer. Then put the piece of the wood on the opposite side of the nut that faces the 1st fret and again tap it carefully. Try not to break the front side of the fretboard that is before the nut tapping too hard

3) Then put the same piece of wood against the side of the nut (against the part of the nut that is over the fretboard) and tap. The nut should slide out of the slot. If it doesn't repeat #2 but do it very carefully


Fender nuts can be curved or flat at the bottom. Take out yours first to see what you have and then order a new one

[Noirie.]

Cheers mate. Strung up the low E and yeah ain’t working great.

I’ll leave it be for now but good to know.

Might be able to fix it with talcum powder and superglue but cba

Fair.

Ye

I feel like that's too much 'material' to make from the talcoglue mixture, that's more for filling slots to recut.

Do you not have the missing piece of nut?
