Changing weather effects on my neck

Howdy!

I have a Suhr Classic T Pro. I bought it around early February. The setup was nice to begin with. I been having a blast. But, last week when the weather here in New England - Boston area - became humid the higher register strings began to buzz on the frets closest to the neck.  I've owned a number of guitars including a Tele (maple neck) and none of the others seemed to be affected to this degree now or in the past. Is this typical?  Robert I know you own some Suhr gear, what is your take on this? I'm asking all that are @here.  I don't want to do anything drastic. I'm not doing anything special - the guitar never leaves the room I play in. Advice is appreciated.

Thanks, Bill

Could be  a few things.  Best get it checked out by a qualified luthier.  Suhr have a lifetime guarantee so if it is something diabolical it should be repaired free or replaced.

Yeah it's normal to have some change in level of buzz on guitars, as the weather changes.

If the shop won't help you, you can contact Suhr - they have excellent support.

However, it's a good idea to learn how to adjust the truss rod. Most likely, that will be the solution.

View some tutorials on youtube, for example 

It is something all guitar players should learn how to do.
