Got a new LV-05E, stung with Daddario EXP11 .012-0.53.

Buzzing occurs on:
E string: when played open, when I bar 6, 7, 8 and 9.
A string: when I bar 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8.

I have tried to loossen the truss rod.  I found that it is very very easy to turn the truss rod, seems like it is very loose already.

Anyone could help?  Thanks a lot!

Hi wswl,

Sorry to hear that you have this buzzing on your new guitar.

Did you buy it from a retail (physical) store? If so, then I would take it to them to get it set up properly.

If you bought it online then I would contact the dealer to find out what they can do for you.

My truss rod is so tight I feel like I'm about to snap it in either direction. Of course I have only adjusted it myself twice in 8 years. You may try going to medium strings (13-56), less arch to deal with over lites and I love the sound they generate moving that sitka top.

Here is how to check whether truss needs adjusting or not, and how to do it, and way more info than you will ever need. Basically, press down at 1st and 15th fret. You should have enough space between low E and 6th fret to slip a businesscard through. If this looks good, the truss is not the problem. http://frets.com/FRETSPages/Musician/GenSetup/TrussRods/TrussRodAdj/tradj.html

Here is buzz diagnosis: http://frets.com/FRETSPages/Luthier/Technique/Setup/BuzzDiagnosis/buzzintro.html

But - my both Larris have a few open string buzzes which I diagnosed to poorly cut nut - try to press hard just behind nut on the buzzing string, play it open, if buzz gone, that's it. This can be easily fixed by your local tech.

All great suggestion but if you haven't done any of these adjustments please bring it to a tech.If you don't know one ask the local players who they use.Go interview the tech's till you find someone your comfy with.
