[QUOTE="niccolai:142849"]capo the first fret and check the height on the 12th wire. You shouldn't have it lower than 4/64ths and there shouldn't be any buzzing that low, the truss rodd wouldn't effect that assuming the string and bridgeheight are correct, the only thing that would give you buzzing that I can think of is an improper fret dressing, or you pressure the strings to much or not enough given the specific height. incase the intonation is incorect, than take a tape measerer and measer from the end of the nut at the head to the 12th fret wire and double it to get your scale length, than measer from the nut to the saddle on your low e string, it should be the same distance as the scale length, no closer or further from the bridge. than the A string would haveto be moved back acording to it's guage, assuming it's .11 than it should be .11 behind the e string saddle. So the same thing with the D string, moving it back it's guage from the A strings saddle. than the D string should be paralell with the A and use the same method on B and E by moving them back acording to thier guage. to adjust the truss rod, tune the guitar as close as possable, capo the first fret, and hold down the 6th string on the last fret (the low E) and check the height at the 8th fret, it should be .10 or 11. if it's not, you need to tighten or loosen the trussrod with the capo on until the 8 string height matches .10 or .11. once setup properly you should be able to go as low as 4/64ths. If not, it may be a fret problem. first check all possable minor problems, sharp or coroding bridge saddles, flattened or choking strings, string heights, frets that are starting to leave the wood, jagged frets, and anything you can think of. I'm betting (assuming everythings setup as far as intonation and truss rod goes) that it's the frets and they should be dressed and worst case scenario replaced. If you know how to redress frets than do it, if not, don't risk it. here are the steps involved: 1. using a rubber hammer, hit the frets down into the board not enough to damage, but enough to let them know they are the enemy. 2. take a black sharpy marker and make a line down the fret wiring 3. take fine grade sand paper (above wet sanding though) on a flat board with a handle, and sand the frets lightly until the marker is gone. it should smoothe things up. If you aren't firmilliar with fret dresses, I wouldn't risk it. if you redress the freets and it's still buzzing, thats when you say fuck because it was the setup all along and you redressed the frets for nothing and something else is wrong. if it buzzes after that, than you may need a neck or nut shim, the brand of strings you use may clash with the guitar, or you did something to anger god. if non of that works, just take it to a tech and risk the 15$ setup and make sure you tell him how you tune and the guages and strings you use.[/QUOTE]
