Post 2013 N/S Stick - Just arrived. Buzzing
I just got my new NS Stick... looks awesome! I do have a good amount of frett buzzing though - shipped from CA to Mass across weather patterns. I did not get a truss wrench with the package (thought it might be included, though it was not). So I am going to order one I guess and see if I can't get this flawless with no buzz. So far it sounds insane.

I got the Orange finish (it is actually golden, but looks orange to me :)
The bamboo neck is sick.

Hi Tony (tonybostony), welcome to the forum. if you got the NS "new" from SE then a small set of Allen wrenches should have been included. I have seen them stuck in the foam on the inside of the case but usually in a small brown envelope with the word "wrenches" on it ;). No worries
though if they are not there, any hardware store will have little sets of these wrenches.
Buy them in a set but make sure it is a loose set as I think that you will use the angled end of the
wrench to make the truss adjustment. Go to this link and scroll down if you have not already
looked at the "operators manual". The NS Stick is a great instrument let us know how you are doing with it.

Hey there bro. I brought it to my guitar teacher and we fiddled with the truss adjustment, and he got it to fit how I play (very prescriptively).

I had had the NS for a few days and could not get used to it, so I was worried. Once he brought it up a bit for me, I was all set. We were both impressed. It is one crazy instrument with a sound all it's own.

Happier now!

Hi Tony, somehow :oops: I missed actually adding the link for the "opperators manual"
I think it is pretty important if you are new to the NS....
