"Brand New" Squier Mustang Fret Buzz

brockhampstanl

I've already posted this on the Mustang sub but since no one replied yet here I am. So I've just bought a "brand new" Squier Classic Vibe 60's Mustang about a month ago. I say "brand new" because I am the first owner of the guitar but it was manufactured in 2019, not that it matters, at least I assume not. I immediately noticed some buzz fret on the High E string but didn't give it much thought until I noticed the 14th fret on the High E was playing the same note as the 15th. I searched around and came to the conclusion that I just have to raise the treble side of the bridge to fix it but wasn't 100% sure so thought this would be the best place to ask around. Really glad if you could help me.

Hey Brock, Sorry for my short response but I had the same issue when I got my Squier Classic Vibe 60's Mustang a year ago. I did a set-up on the bass (nut/bridge/truss-rod, etc) and that really helped out (90% less buzz, true notes on every fret). I learned how to do the set up by watching videos on YouTube and StewMac.com. I also had to buy some tools (string gauge, nut file, etc). Hope that helps.

Wouldn't just raising the bridge fix it though?
