on my acoustic, on the g string it buzzes when ever I play it open. I thought it might be something wrong with the fretboard except that it doesn't buzz when I play a fret, it might be just low action on my strings and then I would have to ajust my bridge, but then wouldn't all the strings buzz??? I know the strings aren't old cause I've used 3 different pairs of strings and they all buzz on the g string, does anybody know what it could be, any advice will be great......

My electric does that too. I think it does it because its a cheap piece of crap. That's why most guitars make a buzzing noise.. made cheap. I've played a few guitars and I know it's common to find the buzz on Epiphone and Squier guitars.

well that would explain if ALL the strings buzzed, but not one, also when I play with a pick it doesn't buzz, very strange....

Only 1 string makes a buzzing noise on mine. I have heard of other people complaining about their Epiphone Les Paul's having the same problem, with only one string.

HI

Just I thought I had. This could be that on the head nut it is a little bit waren out then the other ones. I had a buzzing problem like this on my high E string in every position I played in it turned out to be it needed a neck adjustment.
