Buzzing

Hey all,
I just got my first Selmer style, a Dell Arte Minor Swing. I love it so far. I've done a few modifications, upped the gauge of my strings to 11's and shimmed the bridge a bit. I actually shimmed the bridge higher on the bass side and its at a good height for the low E and I have a really good height on the high e also, BUT I'm getting a bit of buzz from the G string. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas other than shimming the bridge more as everything else is near perfect.

    1. Check for a high fret.

    2. If the bridge has notch that is too deep and flat for the string that can cause a buzz.

    3. If it buzzes on the open string the zero fret might have a flat spot

    4. If you are using a big tone or another pickup that has a wire on the inside of the body that might be buzzing

    Just a few thing I would check.

    Cheers,
    Josh
