hello, so i’ve had my syn standard for a while and recently i’ve been getting a lot of buzz from my A string. i thought it might’ve been the saddle or something with the bridge and i’ve replaced it with a new saddle and screws and the buzz was still there. i’ve adjusted the action and still no luck. every other string works fine, it’s just the A string, it’s a buzz on the whole string, on every fret. i’ve pushed the tremolo down to test if an action change would fix it but the string would still buzz. i genuinely don’t know what i got to do. i can’t tell where the buzz stems from, but i have a feeling it’s either the top of the neck or somewhere at the bridge.

Have you checked the nut or the tuners? The nut could be badly cut, or the Floyd locking nut could be doing something weird, or the tuner might not be pulling straight on the string. Check those, and if it still persists, take it to a luthier.
