Open string buzz

[JimiH]

Ok my Diablo's G string has started to buzz when played open or at the 13th fret. Did some research and people say shim the nut. I removed the locking nuts and the buzz is gone. I'm thinking get a new one, nut that is as I suspect its worn out?

Any ideas?

You can try flipping the g/d clamp 90deg. The undersides get rutted after a while.

Also, during your next restring, try loosening the nut mounting screws and reseat them. And a shim is not a bad idea. It worked for my Charvel.

You know you are getting old when your nuts are worn out and you start to buzz about.

You can try flipping the g/d clamp 180deg. The undersides get rutted after a while.

I meant 189deg, but you got the idea. Oops.
