No you cannot, if you were to take the frets out of a guitar and put them in a different one, it could put your guutar in a huge strain, and possibly causing the neck of the guitar to break. This is because one guitar's fret bored nay be bigger than the other by just the littlest bit, and could leave a gap, therefore when you go to tighten the strings it would really put a hurt on the guitar... Not only that, but im pretty sure if you got them out, they wouldnt be put back in and stay in.

How can i repair fret buzz with a Floyd rose tremolo?

If an adjustable bridge,slightly raise the end a teeny bit at atime and check for buzz.If not adjustable,you may be able to pack up the white insert on the end that needs lifting.It wont need much.If that no good then find the offending fret by fretting the string all along the fretboard,one fret at a time.Where it first buzzes is the problem fret.Then,get a small block of wood and place it on the fret and tap it with a hammer.This may take several attempts.Failing that,neck could be twisted and out of your league. It could be several things, You question is kindly vague.. Here are some symptoms. You will have to pick thru and find the relief.. Buzzes in one particular spot, Frets are not on level. Fret is rising out of fingerboard. Secure all loose frets , level and dres. Fret leveling and/or replacement of worn frets. Buzzes on open strings only, Nut, slots in nuts are too deep, worn or poorly cut. Replace nut or shim to add height, set up instrument properly. If it's buzzing on the bottom 6 frets, the truss rod may be too tight, The bridge may be loose, or too high, there are several things that could be wrong here. I would take a look at the frets though. Start there. Then work your way down the list. If it's not an expensive guitar I wouldn't spend alot of money into finding whats wrong. I have some vintage ones that it would be worth it, but if its just a cheapy.. don't waste the money cause it could cost a fortune. Get your guitar 'set-up' by a pro guitar technician. A cheap stereo chorus can sometimes induce a buzz from certain notes, but your guitar is probably in need of a good service. Pro guitar repair is the way to go. Don't take chances with your baby!

How do you re fret a guitar finger board?

The frets themselves are the thick metal wires embedded in the neck of a guitar on the finger board where you form the chords. When you say the 1st fret, though, it means the space between the nut (or fret 0, between the tuning pegs and the fret board) and the first fret. The guitarist applies pressure at this space which causes the string to be depressed exactly at the fret and, when struck, produce the note exactly 1 step higher than the fret before. Each fret represents a diatonic note, following the standard tempered scale. This means that the guitar is a tempered instrument, producing standardized pitches where the string meets the fret rather than where the guitarist's finger hits the string.

When should you replace your guitar?

As long as the guitar is in good shape you should never replace it just buy new ones, the older the guitar is the more money its worth so unless the neck is damaged and frets are popping out or something of that extreme of a matter than just keep it and save for a new one

Can you use the same Guitar Hero guitar on the newer versions of Guitar Hero such as Guitar Hero 3 guitar on World tour?

Yes, you can use the same guitar, but it won't have the new features on it for World Tour. You won't be able to use the touch-sensitive frets. The only advantages that you get with the touch-sensitive buttons are that you can slide between notes on certain parts of songs without strumming. You can also use slider and tap it instead of strumming on regular notes. However, you can use the regular frets to hit the notes without strumming, as well. But obviously they are not touch sensitive. You would have to play it as normal, but you wouldn't have to strum. Plus you have to get the drums and microphone to play different roles in the band.

How do you fix your guitar strings if they buzz?

If it's an electric guitar, it might be your amp, or your pickups. If its acoustic take out the strings, and try replacing them. However, if you're not satisfied with that mediocre (at best) response, try this. The strings on a guitary don't buzz, uneven frets do. If a fret is buzzing and it continues even after you replace old strings, (the dead skin on which acts as a medium to create a false uneveness to the fret) then the buzzing must be fixed by either having a new fret put in, or having the action adjusted by the truss rod. A guitar string will never buzz, it's the fret itself that causes the buzzing.


I just bought an acoustic-electric guitar and am wondering why I'm getting black on my fingers from the fretboard. Is this normal with a new guitar?

No but its kind of weird that it happened. If I was you I was you I would take it back.
