Need help to make adjustments

[Mihai Doană]

Hello there, Once again I find myself helpless in adjusting my schecter synyster custom. I had broken a string and it took about one week to get new ones, so the old adjustments are messed up right now. After I tuned my guitar up, I realised it makes a horrible fret buzz around the 5th and 6th fret of the A string. I tried adjusting the truss rod clockwise, as well as counter clockwise, and I think it helped to loosening it, but it still makes some buzz and I’m scared honestly. The strings have also gone up(I prefer having a really low action on my guitar). Therefore, I am begging for help, I want to fix my guitar as soon as possible without breaking anything on it

I don’t have any experience with this personally but if you don’t know what to do, I’d recommend taking it to a technician or luthier. I really hope you get this fixed!

5th or 6th fret isn’t where I would expect the fret buzz if it was a truss rod problem. Usually the truss rod only needs adjusted for seasonal changes. Just to make sure I understand the situation correctly- are the new strings the same as the old strings? If the fret buzz is only on one string I personally would be worried that I had somehow put some kind of kink or bend in the string when putting it on, which is a rare mistake but one I’ll admit I have made before.

They’re the same strings, nothing changed about that. Actually yeah, it’s the only string that didn’t line up nicely on the nut, but I didn’t think it could have anything to do with that

Now it all makes sense. I’m gonna try to restring that A string and undo all the adjustments I made. That explains why the dead note is only on the A string

sounds to me like you didnt put the battery under the floyd rose during your change and your balance is way off.
You don’t need a battery but something to keep your tension while you change the strings.
