NGD 1977 Starfire 6

[Norrissey]

I was getting a couple string buzzes that I traced to the strings vibrating on the back of the bridge between the saddles and harp tail

I'm starting to think this is a common problem with the harp tails. Both my harp tail equipped guitars (a '64 SFII and a '70 SFIV) have buzz between the saddles and the harp : ( I stuff felt under the strings to get rid of the buzz.

@BradHK do you have a good luthier to help you out?

I do all of my own repairs other than neck resets and full fret jobs and leveling. I think those are two areas where experience really matters and somebody has done it many, many times. I had a great luthier for these jobs in Nashville. Since moving to NYC I have not had the need yet so no real experience with a local luthier. However, I know there are some good, but expensive, ones around here.

Well use your judgement, Brad! And, again, congrats on that beautiful guitar.

Congratulations Brad! She's a beauty!

Yup, I had a 74 SF-VI sunburst. I still my 74 SF-IV Black/mahogany.
