Hi guys ive recently changed the nut on my new new mexican strat (3 months old) And im getting weird sound from the d string open i know its not the trem springs but when i touch around the string where the headstock is it goes then when i dont the top the string it doesnt go. The nut is bone Also there is fret buzz on d on the 1,2,3,5,7 fret its bad even though i the ts a new nut in this is new guitar Could someone please shed some light and please help me it driving me insane!
Why did the nut need changing? Did you get a pre-slotted nut or did you do it yourself? In either case, it sounds like it should be redone.
It did the same thing with the original nut with an open string buzz. It eliminated the problem with the open string buzz but now there is there is this weird sound from it wish i could describe unless i touch the top of the string.
it could be that the notch cut into the Nut at the D is to deep. have you tried putting a piece of paper under the D at the nut to see if it raises it up enough to eliminate the Buzz or sound
