Hey all, Just wondering if any of you know anything about this Buzz Feiten Tuning System? I've heard that its suppose to be better than the standard way of tuning but does anyone know what actually goes into the whole thing?

check out the tom anderson site...find everything you need to know about buzz tuning...just think about how you tune your guitar,and how even though your tuner shows you are in tune,some chords are still fluttering slightly...buzz tuning fixes this to have a more even tempered tuning up the neck...it is very accurate and people who use it find it hard to stay with conventional tuning...that is my 2 cents hehe

Basically, Buzz moved the nut slightly forward and changed the position of the frets a little. You can't tell a 'Buzzed' guitar from a normal one - the changes are to small. You can, however, hear a difference. Chords sound perfect in every position, and notes are perfectly in tune with their octaves. It sounds great. Almost all Washburn guitars come standard with Buzz's system.
