Washburn D10sbc Acoustic Guitar - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
My tuner shows a green
Often, the flashing green light indicates that the tuner is NOT receiving a signal and is a warning that the tuner is turned on.
First thing is to check if you have normal output from the guitar from the pickup. If the output is normal, there MAY be a failure in the tuner.
ALSO, just because a battery is new doesn't mean the battery isn't depleted... either try another from a different batch or use a voltmeter to check it. I have seen people chasing their tails due to a brand new bad battery.
When you select the tuner does the audio OUT of the guitar cut off as it is supposed to?
WHAT IS THE VALUE?
Postings on eBay for Washburn acoustic guitars range from $150 to $300, with occasional postings as high as $450 that I saw.
I lost the clip that holds battery in
These would be pickup specific. I would suggest either contacting :1) The shop where you purchased it2) Washburn spares3) Spares department of the pickup manufacturer if the makers name is shown.
What Can replace an f chord?
There is no general answer to your question. An F chord usually has F,C, and A in it... If the music calls for that then either you use that or you are improvising, while somebody else in an accompaning instrument plays the chord.
Buzz at the e6 string 11th fret
Have you changed strings on it? Old strings get worn spots in them from rubbing on the frets that will cause these type of symptoms. If you put new strings on and get the same issue, check your neck relief (the amount of bow in the neck) to do this, hold your low E string at the first fret, and at the 12th or 14th fret. The neck should have a slight bow in the middle that puts it between 1/16" and 1/8" or so away from your string. If it does not have enough bow in it, you can adjust the truss rod. Most guitars use an allen wrench for this, it will be inside the soundhole on an acoustic usually, and on an electric it is normally on the headstock under a cover. There are many how-to's online about adjusting a truss rod, the key is to do it very slowly, only do about a 1/2 turn a day, retune, check it again the next day. Loosen the truss rod to put more neck relief, tighten to straighten the neck. If this still doesn't fix you up, let me know, and I'll tell you where to go from there.
I need to know how
Actually you can do this by adding shims under the saddle to raise the action. Then use the truss rod to make the action uniform if necessary. I try to avoid making adjustments to the neck because it could lead to undesirable perminent alteration to the neck. If you do make adjustments to the truss rod you should tune the guitar to pitch and let it sit left alone overnight to allow the wood time to adjust to the new adjustments.

Both the E and A strings
Buzz usually translates to either inadequate fret clearance or poor quality strings or inadequate pressure holding strings against the fret.
The guitar DESERVES using high quality strings and I would look at the manufacturers recommended string weight or your music store should know what to use. The LIGHT strings MAY be your problem.

A new type of peg that makes it easier to change strings!
Either that or most guitar shops stock string pegs, Just ask at the counter .. .If they don't have them and can't get any in then they are not a real guitar shop in my opinion
