This is what a string sounds like if the truss rod needs to be adjusted because the strings are too low and one or more are fretting out.

Wow thanks for that, I never really knew how string buzz sounds like I never had that problem.. yet ;D

I hope it's OK that I post another question about string buzz here. I just bought a Mexican Tele, and the D string buzzes. The action is fine and the buzz is most noticeable when plucking an open D string. The rattle is definitely coming from the bridge. It has a six saddle bridge. Please help.

Try adjusting the saddle height of the D string but, first check the string buzz Thread in the tech forum to make sure your action is not too low.
This link has a pic of where to adjust the height.

Not a bad book that. If I see it somewhere, I'll pick it up. Looks like a keeper, like the Guitar Handbook by Ralph Denyer.

I know right off that the action is not too low. It's medium, not even the fastest guitar I have. Plenty of clearence from the fretboard and pickups.

The buzz was coming from the spring behind the saddle, which has a screw going through it to adjust the intonation. So while I was looking how to adjust the height of the saddle I loosened that screw a little (half a turn) and ta-da!! fixed.

I haven't checked the intonation again, but it may involve just turning that spring a little bit so the string clears it or it sits firmer and doesn't buzz if I need to retighten that screw to get the intonation right. Unusual for a brand new Fender

I'll let you know if there are any more probs. How touchy is the intonation? Will just one turn of the screw ruin it?

Thanks for your help allthumbs.

You should have a bit of lee way. It is almost impossible to intonate dead on 100% to a tuner.
