I`m a beginner accoustic guitar player and my husband just back me a used Washburn D128. Does anyone have any information or feedback on this guitar? It seems to have a great sound to it, but the more I play it I`ve noticed that it does not stay in tune and there is some slight fret buzzing. Any suggestions?

thanks

Im glad that u ask for suggestions about ur fret.I am beginner too.I had shared the same problem as you when i bought my guitar...the good news for u is, u could adjust ur frets by an "Allen Key".There is a hole that is connected to ur frets(maybe at the top or at the bottom of ur neck)...use the "allen Key" to adjust it to ur comfort....THE BAD NEWS is , ur guitar might not funcioning so well coz the neck is damaged/not in straight position....this problem might occur when u keep ur guitar in hot places such as ur car or under the sun...i suggest that u change or repair ur guitar`s neck at the nearest store...

You need a slight bow in the neck of the guitar, sounds to me you havent got enough,to increase bow, turn the truss rod(the allen head)
inside the guitar hole at end of neck, counterclockwise.But first check
your string clearance, to do this simply finger the 1st fret and the last fret,do this with each string making sure you have clearance between strings and all fret bars in between.If string are touching any fret bars (other that at the first and last frets) or are to close
you will get a buzz from them.Then you can adjust the bow in the neck if this is your problem. Worst case would be a warped neck, if you are new to guitars it could be your technic,some guitars take more finger pressure to firmly seat a freted string.It could also have to HEAVY of strings, or to low of fret bars.Take it to your local music shop and have thhem check it for you.. good luck and enjoy....

I like the guitar, but shortly after buying it I noticed a buzzing down the neck. I`m a beginner too, and pretty ignorant about this stuff, but I knew something had to be wrong. I took it back to my guitar shop and he fixed it up for me.

How are you doing with your playing so far? I think this Washburn is a good beginner guitar because the action is fairly easy. I`ve been practicing several hours a day since I started last November, and I have yet to get a blister.

Hello! The buzzing may not be the guitar it self. The buzzing may be from the position of your fingers on the fretboard. Get the close to the fret but not right on top of it. Another resaon is that you need to apply more pressure to the strings. Also check the strings themself. Se if they are worn in places because that will cause definant buzzing.

Hope this helps!
