Topic: Buzzing noise on bottom string, the one at the top.

I have the action lowered on my guitar, this was done at the shop where I bought it from. It has a Floyd Rose bridge with floating trem. This makes it a little easier for me to play with me slightly disabled left hand. Which was done in a dog attack while I was working as post man, I had 16 broken bones and 56 stitches. However, since the action has been lowered the bottom string now make a buzzing noise  I have had 9 gauge strings put on as recommended.

Any ideas how I can get read of the buzz.

Imagine if the words of Imagine ever came true.....

Sounds like the action could have been set too low - does it happen on every fret or just a few? If it is just a few the truss rod may need adjusting - either way, it should go back to the store who adjusted it for you!

What a nasty incident to have happened. You hear about the dog chasing the postman but that is really nasty.
