I was saying that I changed the strings but the buzzing continues.
The question now is (building from what Eric said) if I run a thin bead of Gorilla Glue would that stop the buzzing or would doing that also deaden the sound?
No idea. I have no experience of those kinds of repairs. But if you're sure you don't want to get the guitar repaired, you could try it, I mean, nothing to lose, right?
Keep in mind that, if you glue the bridge with an improper kind of glue, there's a solid chance that new repairs will become impossible. But that's an issue to consider only with valuable guitars.
There are other vids on the subject on youtube. I suggest you spend a bit of time on that. I would love to be able to help more, this is the kind of shit I love doing.
We have this system for sort of attaboy points at work and I have enough for a $50 gift certificate to Guitar Center and that makes this a pretty negligible cost.
I have an old dishwasher that’s broken and hasn’t been used for years. Last night I noticed water seeping out next to the bottom corner of where the dishwasher is installed. I called a plumber and he said I need to call an appliance guy. But if I haven’t been using the dishwasher, how could that be the problem?
The connection to the dishwasher is probably shot.
If you find where the other end of that connection is, you could theoretically just turn it off from there and then worry about the dishwasher later or never.
It's probably a 3/8" braided metal hose going from under your sink or thereabouts to the dishwasher. Find it, turn it off and you can ignore the dishwasher.
The only other way an unused dishwasher could have a leak would be a hose releasing the drain water into the sink drain. That one would be trickier to cap off but still not a huge deal.
I mean, if you're not using the dishwasher, it can only leak because one of those two places. Even if the leak was something other than the incoming water or the outgoing drain, cutting off the incoming water and drain would end it. No water can get in, the leak stops.
The only difference would be that since you're not continuing to the point of removing/replacing the machine, you have to either remove that splitter than connects the dishwasher drain to the sink or cap it off somehow. Or replace it with a connection without the fork to the dishwasher.
If I lived there, I could do it in like 30 minutes. And I work for cheap wine. Since I'm not, feel free to snap pics and I can try and answer any questions that come up.
The bottom line is: there is no reason to pay anyone for this.

Cool! Yamahas are usually decent entry level instruments. Will Simon take lessons?
Shit. Neighbors called from Romania. Mother-in-law fell down some stairs. Head contusion, concussion, rushed in ambulance to ER. Trying to get a hold of some cousins who can go to her.
We didn't get that guitar. First, because it buzzed slightly and now that Dan taught me what to look for, we saw the bridge already had a gap under it.
Second, because the dreadnoughts felt uncomfortably large to kiddo. He tried a 3/4 size guitar but that felt too small. Then he picked up a parlor sized guitar from Ibanez and that felt right. It's an acoustic/electric and all mahogany/rosewood, so I felt good about its build.
Hopefully, Tilda doesn't kill me for spending an extra $110.
I really really hope its about to get better. Last minute work madness spilled into my last night and into my morning and I'm still waiting for the powers that be to give me what I need to put this fucking thing to bed so I can enjoy my vacation.

Why is so much American bureaucracy left to average citizens?

Crazy.
They'll put some hair on his blisters at first, but the sound pops
