Hi Mike!   Oddly, I just found out about you on the Handmade Music Clubhouse Member Map.   I was surprised to see another Minnesota guy that I didn't know about.   I know there's a few around the Mpls area and I've talked to Dave Lynus over in the Duluth area a few times but you are the first to crop up in central MN.   I'm by Verndale, (Wadena area) right about in the middle of the state.  I haven't really done anything in the Handmade Music clubhouse yet besides join, so I came back to CBN and found your page.

Anyway, welcome to the madness....I mean hobby, club, obsession!    Nice to know there's others in central MN with the same interest as me!   Maybe we can get together and jam/compare notes some day.   JP

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.
