Hi all
I am setting up my homebuild banjolele and i am having some issues with the nut.
I have an irritating buzz on the 1st string when i fret it at the 1st fret. Open it sounds fine ie no buzz, so i am guessing either the 2nd fret is too high or the nut slot is too low. Is this the right way of thinking?
Also, when i install my frets should they all be level with the fretboard? If so i find it very hard to get them to sit completely flat on the board, they seem to always have an arch to them. Any tips?
Thanks in advance
Simon
