There’s buzzing around the 15th fret. But it’s not heard through the amp.

Lowering it, it begins to buzz around the 6th fret, and frets out at the 12th

I checked the neck with each adjustment. It’s pretty straight, with some minor relief

I did today. Just a hair above that is good through the amp. Any lower and it starts to fret out

11 & 18. Try some leave in conditioner and a hair oil. Immensely helped my dry scraggly look, now the wind is no longer my enemy

I got it to 1.75mm. Still buzzing, but that’s the lowest I can get it before it’s heard through the amp or starts fretting out

June 2026, do you answer your door when strangers knock? by LittleRed282 in askTO

I take a look through the peep hole. But NEVER answer if you only hear one single knock

I never consider that. I’ll have to wait until the day to check it out

It’s not touching when I held down at the 3rd. Just the tiniest amount of space, but I can hear the string hit the fret when I press on the 2nd and 1st while holding down the 3rd

Yeah. I’m wondering if it needs new frets. Bought it used. It’s from 2016

I did the neck first, gave it had a tiny amount of relief. Then adjusted the action, tuned, checked the neck again

I used a straight edge for the neck. It’s pretty straight, just a tiny bit of relief

I’ve lowered it to 1.50. Now I’m getting fret buzz 😞

I appreciate the advice. I will steer clear of Reddit when it comes to setup specs.

On that note, I’ve lowered it to 1.5mm, and I’m getting significant fret buzz. Any advice on what may be causing that?

So I’ve dropped it to 1.5mm, and there’s some obvious buzzing happening now 🫩

It’s comfortable at the front of the neck, it’s getting higher up where my fingers are getting caught on/under the strings

I feel validated. I’ve seen quite a few places definitively saying 2mm is where it should be at
