Thanks James! This one is very loud acoustically, kind of surprised me. Something about these old boxes just make for better gits.

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
