Raise 1 string only?

Hello!

My bridge has adjusters. They are down all the way at the moment, and all strings are fine except for the G. It's buzzing.

What is the easiest way to raise the G string only without affecting the other strings. I don't want to raise the adjusters.

Thanks.
Mark

What notes on the G string buzz?

You should raise the bridge adjusters evenly, find the right G string height, then lower the E, A, and D accordingly.
