How is my guitar Retrofitted with the Buzz Feiten Tuning System?
The Buzz Feiten Tuning System® Authorized Retrofit involves two steps:
Step 1: The nut is moved closer to the first fret to eliminate sharpness at the first three frets caused by end tension. This step employs our exclusive Shelf Nut branded with our lightning-bolt logo for authenticity. Installation of this part is non-invasive to your instrument. Your Authorized Retrofitter removes the original nut and installs our Shelf Nut according to our patented formulas for your guitar based on its scale length, string gauge and fret width.
Step 2: Your guitar is intonated according to our patented pitch offset formulas. This step uses the existing adjustable bridge saddles on your guitar bringing each string into pleasing intonation with every other string at every fret across the entire fingerboard.
