New JJ2 Black Ghost Flames is here!

[hippietim]

This came yesterday (yippee - a day early!). The guitar looks amazing - sorry for my lame photo taking skills. I didn't get a chance to plug it in last night but it rings and sustains great unplugged.

This is my first guitar with a V profile neck - it took a little while to get used to that but it feels pretty good now.

The only disappointing thing so far is that most of the strings are buzzing at the 1st fret. [img]/images/graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

It can't be the nut because open strings are fine - it's when I play on the first fret.

Maybe I need to take the rubber hammer to the second fret [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Hahaha!! I actually did shave my head. Once. That was awhile ago.
Scott is just going to have to settle for a tribute tattoo.

Back to worshipping Tim's new BGF JJ2... [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

Once you fret the string, the nut is pretty much out of the equation with regards to buzz. If the nut is too high you can end up with the pitch being a bit sharp.

Maybe lower fret like 2nd fret needs leveling?
