Intense buzzing

AH! Good for you. Then you're on the right path. Just make darn sure that any hex wrench you use on that truss rod nut is the correct fit, and seat it deeply in the nut before turning. They're tough to work with when they get stripped out.

Thanks, I think I'm going to leave the truss alone for now, as that doesn't appear to be source of my problem.

Anyone know about the washers? My dad called them pressure something washers,they don't lie completely flat. Perhaps I put the tuning peg back together incorrectly which might be causing them to rattle. Could I just replace these washers with standard flat washers to fix the buzzing, or do tuning pegs require that specific style of washer?

RxFunk, STOP. NOW.

Based on the questions you are asking, you need to do some homework before you start twisting and tweaking on things. Don't pick up a wrench until you have learned more than you know now.

Read the stickies in this forum about setups. Read ALL the information from a couple of sites about how to do setups. When you have done that, the posts you have read here will make more sense to you.

Then - and only then - get a wrench set with the correct size wrench in it, and adjust the neck (if needed) as part of a complete setup.

And no, removing all the strings at one time does not automatically require a setup. Not true.

Great advice, you beat me to it. Especially that last bit. Absolutely not true.
