NEW ibanez sa260fml... slight problem?

aite everyone

ok so i picked up my new guitar today (ibanez sa260fml) but im having a few problems...

basically from roughly the seventh fret onwards on every string i get a buzzing sound when playing a note

also its seems to be going out of tune really quick whether this is to do with the buzzing or that maybe its just that the strings are new and just need to be broken in so to speak?

i dont think its anything major (at least i hope not) hopefully it just needs setting up properly! at the minute im gutted cos i know how nice an ibanez CAN sound but mine just sounds absolutely tripe

any advice/help would be appreciated

cheers, Wez

A brand-new guitar will be tough to keep in tune until the strings get stretched and settle in. The best way I've found to accelerate the process is to slide a finger beneath each string about halfway up its length and give it a tug (gently!), then re-tune. Repeat this several times until it starts holding tune. You'll still need to periodically re-tune (as with all guitars), but it won't be near as bad as it is right now.

As to your problem with fret buzz, it could be a number of things. Start off by reading UGB's "Buzz!" thread, which is pinned at the top of this forum - he gives excellent tips on how to fix the problem.
