Buzz in an S&S D

[Fenton Murray]

More obvious stuff. Have someone play while you look. Isolate strings, press 
on different segments of the wire and felt mute any offending sections to 
get through the concert. Also, you can leather covered wedge mute a rib or 
soundboard section thereby once again treating the symptom rather that the 
cause in the interest of the concert at hand. Careful inspection with 
articulating mirror and light. String interference with bridge notching. 
Pull the lid and have someone play while you press on everything you can 
find. Good luck.
