is it possible to get low/very low action on a silo, I have a sl2h and I got great action /low and little to no buzz, however when I try to lower the act. on silo I get alot of buzz, could that just be a setup issue?, would bigger frets help?

What is "low" action? How much relief? What shape are the frets in? Same radius? All this things matter if you want low action with no buzz.

I can get very low action on my silos, especially on one of them, and I love the medium/high frets.

Lenny low action is sort of a marrige between neck relief, or lack thereof and string height, some guitars will get closer than others but the best thing to do is put some relief in the neck and get the strings pretty low with the saddles, then simply straighten the neck, thats about as low as your gonna go without bad fret buzz, also a tiny bit of buzz is OK
