I was noticinig some fret buzz on the Plus and figured it was the recent cold weather snap here in Florida. I took a quick measurement at the 1st and 15th and then went to my case to get the allen wrench and made a slight adjustment. No more buzz!

Anyone else experience this in a change of weather? I am not talking about going out of tune between the house and the gig due to humidity.

I've done some tweaking, but not on my Plus. It needed a very slight tweak when it first got here from Maryland, but since then, nothing really. It'll probably need it in the spring. Fretboard was a little dry, but I lemon-oiled it up, and now it even SMELLS nicer!

Two or three of my other guitars needed tweaked, too. The longer you go the less they need it from year to year.

mahogany necks tend to need attention more often than maple necks, so it's not surprising to mess with them, especially when things get extra dry or wet. remember that forced air heating dries things out very quickly.
