Thank you!Grazie!
Thanks for the video!
Do I understand your procedure correctly: 1) set neck to perfectly flat, using careful truss rod adjustment 2) set string heights at 24th fret to 1.5 to 1.75 mm with saddle adjustment and 3) Adjust neck to bow just a little bit (1/4 turn at a time, play for a while between truss rod adjustments) until fret buzz is gone.
Is that the procedure?
I guess it partly depends on how hard a player strikes the strings?
Also remember that when doing our setups, we focus on fret buzz that is of no consequence when we actually play music. If we want low action, the goal should not be "no buzz" but the maximum amount of buzz that we *don't* notice when we actually enjoy ourself playing.

I like a low action with no string buzz. I use 9s if that makes any difference - what sort of measurements should I be able to achieve on my Cutlass or JP6? I guess it partly depends on how hard a player strikes the strings?
I still don’t get how step 1 works - how do you gauge when the neck is flat ? Sorry for the total noob questions
I remember meeting up with Jonny Dubai, when I was in Dubai lol. A fantastic legatto, and tapping guitarist. He is an amazing player. I played his Axis and I wasn't able to do much on it. I'm a Kossoff kind of guitarist. It was set up for him .... so it's what we English say "Horses for Courses".
A great video by the way and your English was fantastic - boy I wish I could speak a second/third language !
I absolutely agree with DrKev's answer, guitar action is really subjective... the quality of the instrument (read: frets leveling) is very important, but if we pick really hard is nearly impossibile to have NO fret buzz
