I recently purchased a used soprano flea. It had some kind of black strings on it that were pretty tired. I thought I'd snaz it up with some lime green Aurora strings. All went well until the E string--buzz, buzz, buzz. I've tried doubling the knot at the bridge (I noticed the string I took off was double-knotted on the E string), rewinding it, shimming the bridge with some paper, shimming the nut with some paper, etc., and nothing helps. I put the old string on, no buzz. New string, buzz buzz buzz. It buzzes when played open, and at every fret, which made me think it's a bridge issue and not a nut issue, but what do I know. Fleas are supposed to be pretty good and not require bridge and nut adjustments, so I'm wondering what to do. Try another set of strings? Play with a funky sounding mis-matched set of 3 new strings and 1 old one? Help!
