IF it's fret buzz, the solution can be simple or difficult. Usually means the neck is not right. Many ways to fix it, but the best way is usually by getting the neck just right. IF it's buzz in the amp from the piezo electric pickup, that's another problem entirely. Could be a loose ground wire, may need shielding, or may simply need to be attached better. Got to see it and hear it to determine what the problem is and the best way to proceed. Contrary to what people think, the neck should not be perfectly straight when under string tension. it actually should be bowed forward, but just a bit. Fret buzz is easiest to fix by raising the bridge. This can be done a number of ways, a shim under it is the quickest and easiest, but only when someone sees it can they tell what way to go. Sometimes, you need a taller nut. Trouble is, these will change the string height all along the neck, and playability sometimes suffers. I've seen them set so high that they were virtually unplayable. Me, I like them as low as possible without fret buzz.
Hello, Billy -I hope I am correct in thinking you are asking about a guitar.Fixya.com, the website where you posted your question, is intended for asking and answering questions on how to go about REPAIRING THINGS. Providing valuations for anything generally require the appraiser to look at the item in person. Appraisals often depend on the physical qualities of the item in question.I have no idea where you reside. In the USA? If I knew where you lived, I MIGHT be able to direct you to a reliable appraiser of guitars.You may wish to post your question on an online guitar discussion forum. One such forum is The Acoustic Guitar Forum:https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=5cdd3989addf3eead2ffd79f960e3c61&f=24You will need to be registered as a member and signed in to post a question.Best wishes.
You might try to find out through Google. It may be made in either China or Korea. As long as you quote the number of that model which should be on the inside of the guitar if you look through the hole in the centre of the top of the guitar where the strings run across. Best of luck.
I have a few questions before trying to be precise-Is this supposed to have been handmade by Kauzo Yairi?.Do you have a pic of the guitar?.I got a guitar around '1966-handmade
with the writing inside saying something like this-CBS Masterworks handmade by K Yairi ser #... i eventually settled on a price between $5- and $ 7000.00 CDN.That was through an insurance co about a year ago.
is the battery in correctly? All Volumes up? If yes to both of those and you still get nothing, Then the tuner is not wired into the pick-up or is defective
