Default Newbie with a question

Well to start, Hello everyone. My name is Keaton. I have had guitars since I was about 10. However I have never really played until recently. Right now I have an Olympia made by Tacoma. I love this guitar. The only problem I have is on some of the frets when you play it makes like a vibrating noise. I am not quite sure what it is. I think it is hitting the little fret bar things wrong. I probably sound a bit naive calling it that. Oh well. My question is. Is there any way to fix that problem? The guitar is beautiful. And when i play on other frets it sounds great. Its just certain frets on the E strings. On the low E it is the top five frets. On the high E its the second fret. Please help! Thanks guys

Welcome to the forum, Keaton!

You're in the right place to ask many questions concerning guitar builds. Feel free to ask forum luthiers (guitar builders) who are also sponsors how they make sure their custom build frets are set in place.


By the way, where are you located?
