Is this saddle too low?

Every once in a while if something gets jarred the buzz can start again so I just reset the battery pack and it’s gone.

I'm going to try checking the battery pack. I have that problem when I play the G note, 5th above guitar middle C, anywhere on the fretboard.


As for the saddle height, the one in the picture is taller than I usually keep mine. I have also had success fixing buzz by adjusting the truss rod.

The springs that hold the battery vibrate. I just need to keep a battery in the slot or use a cloth to dampen the spring vibration. Thanks again!

Not to brag or anything...but THIS is a too low saddle:

The saddle looks fine. Since you live in a dry climate I suggest you first heavily humidify the guitar and its case for a couple of weeks. See You Tube for homemade ways. Then use ordinary means to keep them normally humid. A humid case will provide a clean stable environment for the guitar every night.

That may or may not eliminate the buzz as there are many possible causes. But humidity is a basic requirement. - Stevo

Why is that too low? Strings still above the bridge.

A little bit buzz is normal on guitars, could also be your technique, but i wouldn´t worry about it. Probably no need to take it apart or spend money on a guitar technican, just play the thing and be happy :-)

Opinions vary, but generally none, zero.
