Dead D String

by GB

Just bought a used electric guitar and everything sounds good except for the 'D' string....sounds very flat (ie; dull) and also hearing a faint vibration sound close to the bridge. Is it just time to change the strings? thx

ANSWER

Hi, GB--

I would start by changing strings. That will improve the sound in general. Then if the D string is still buzzing, the bridge may need to be adjusted. It is a relatively inexpensive procedure. Have it done by a reputable repair person.
