I am very happy with Antonio Hermosa AH-50.... but the 6th and 5th strings buzz in the 3rd fret. Can this be fixed adjusting the neck ?

Yes I believe so, i dont have any problems but i adjust the neck because i like the strings close and dont have any problem at all.

Look at the fret wires at the 3rd fret (and all of them for that matter) On cheaper guitars sometimes the fret wire is not seated properly - a light tap with a brass or plastic faced hammer will reseat the frets. If the frets are all seated to the same height, you may need to use a fret file and file the high fret - go slowly!

You could try adjusting the neck. That's certainly the easiest thing you can try to remedy the situation. If that particular fret sits high in just that spot in the neck you may have to have a guitar repair person adjust that or the nut may need to be shimmed. Try the neck adjustment first.

You can try adjusting the neck or may be a flaw in a fret. Mine was great out of the box with just a little adjustment in the action.

In my case i did not face this situation. It is a beatiful guitar. Greetings.

Most likely that will reduce the buzz. I occasionally get a buzz on the 3rd fret as well, but it hasn't been an issue.

you could try different strings im using Albert Augustine 525A Gut Classical Guitar, sounds very good.

I've done it but its really glitchy and unnatural sounding. Helicon makes a good, inexpensive harmonizer. I picked one up used for 60 bucks at Guitar Center.

If you tune it like a regular guitar, e.b. EADGBE, the strings end up being too floppy to play well. Tune to ADGCEA which is transposed "up a fourth" or like a guitar with capo on 5th fret.

I don't know if it will help or not, but I had to try various settings on all the dials/knobs on the harmonizer, as well as on my amp, till I could get a decent sound, but I finally did. Then, I marked, with fingernail polish, every single setting, because of even one of them got changed slightly, it threw everything off. I should also tell you that I have a second guitar that I use tried to use it with, and it just WILL NOT adjust - cannot get a decent sound with that one. Good luck to you - hope it works out.

Mine has played beautifully, right out of the box for two years. No seasonal adjustments or anything. At this point, I'd be afraid to touch the truss rod, lest I break the magic spell.

A friend of mine runs a custom instrument repair shop in California. Unlike Guitar Center, he inspects and sets the action on ALL guitars in his shop. He immediately returns any instrument which has a defect of any kind. Any serious knowledgeable player knows what I am getting at. So if one is concerned about the action, buy the guitar from a reputable shop, or pay to have the instrument "tuned" at a such a shop. It really is worth the money.

Wow. That's a pretty vintage guitar and very special. It has a completely different style of pickup. I would try to restore the guitar very close to its original state. I would try to buy an original Gibson pickup that's designed for that type of guitar or even a boutique pickup, if that's the case.

Absolutely, positively experience a major buzz. Tightened every screw on the cabinet (many were less that tight) but it would not go away. 5th fret A (E string) was the worst. I had no choice but return it.

Steve, the neck is thru, NOT bolted on. I bought this for my son, who is starting to play. As I have been playing for 30 years, I did not want a $300 guitar that wouldn't stay in tune, and a new guitar needs to be bought in a year. I am very happy with the purchase. It is a very good looking guitar, the quilted maple is nice. Quality hardware with Duncan pickups, and Grover tuners. The pickups having a push pull pot to switch to single coils is a nice bonus. You do get hum with the single coil, but that is not the guitar's fault. Action is low, feels good to play. Sounds good too. I feel like I got a good deal on this axe.

Not perfect, but very close. I loosened the truss rod about a quarter turn, lowered the bridge a couple turns, and made a tiny adjustment on the bridge to intonate it. If you know how to do that, you can have it playing perfectly in 5 minutes. If not, watch enough youtube videos to figure it, save the $50 a guitar shop would charge you for 5 minutes of work, and it will be just fantastic.

Teacher had to put bridge on, tune, and tighten the strings. So no it's not exactly ready to go but I have had stings replaced/ tuning at local music store for cheap so think they could set it up also. We are having issue with strings loosening but told the cold weather can cause this.

Try it! I think if you tune 5 frets up from regular guitar tuning (EADGBE) you will find the sound enhanced significantly. I have a Koaloha about the size of the Yamaha guitallele and sound 10 times better. Hope this helps & sorry this took so long. Yamaha good bang for your buck!

yes, new strings will stretch. It may take a week or more of tuning before it settles down.. If it doesn't there could be an issue with the strings or the lugs slipping but Cordoba (and other guitar makers) are pretty good about checking things like that before shipping/selling... If it continues to be an issue take it to a guitar tech for a look and a lesson in restringing (you will eventually have to put new strings on the instrument)

No this is the worst guitar I have ever played on. It won't stay in tune. Investing a little bit more money in a better one will be worth your while!

Awwww... That would be a string issue... Probably not a guitar issue. Most people who buy this guitar change out the strings for a better sound. Cheap fix, a coupla bucks.

Hello Deborah. The Antonio Hermosa AHT=10CE comes with classical nylon strings. I have since replaced them with D'Addario Classical strings. They are a much better quality string, and can be purchased for around $6.00. The guitar is well crafted and sounds great for an inexpensive classical guitar. Acoustic Johnny

can you tell if it is the string to low and hitting the fretts -- if so your guitar need set -up - you may adjust the back bridge some to raise the strings -- it can be also adj -with the neck trush-rod --ck on ''you tube'' it will show you how-- you have to find the noise then go from there
