Hello guys I just had a quick question for you.
I have a Silo Spec. with Piezo I have it set up with 10-46. I am not a pro at set ups but have some experience. I have a JP and two PRS guitars and they seem to be fine. The problem I am experiencing is I have some fret buzz on the E A D G strings. The trem is completely Flushed to the body. I had to raise the saddles to achieve the proper string height 1/16 on Low E and almost the same on all the rest. There is some neck relief so the neck is not perfectly straight. If I did that I don't think I could get the strings high enough without raising the trem which I was told I should not have to do. The buzzing is not outrageous but it is there and more noticeable on this guitar because I don't play very loud and I can hear it acoustically maybe because it reflects off the pic guard, since my other ones don't have a pic guard.
Anyway just wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions on what I could check or what I should do. I love this guitar I would almost say it is my favorite to play but that little buzzing does kind of bug me especially when I play clean.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks

Since no one else wants to chime in

Have you tried a good pair of ear muffs??

Just kidding.

Is this is a new guitar (within a year old) and are you the original owner? If so, it would be prudent to contact Ernie Ball Customer Service and advise them of this problem. If you do not meet these conditions then you could take it to a good guitar tech or luthier. Could be the frets need leveling, or there is something else askew that another set of eyes and hands can possible figure out.

Whatever it is, hope you get it worked out.

please dont post tech problems here without first contacting cust service. thanks

Sorry BP did'nt mean to cause a problem. I have contacted customer service and they were great at helping me. Like I said I don't see any abvious problems maybe I am just doing or not doing something very simple and that is why I posted it here. The buzzing is not extreme by any means and maybe I am just to picky . What I meant by the neck not being completely straigt is that it does have some relief not that is warped.
So don't get me wrong I LOVE THIS GUITAR and just want to have it set up as perfectly as posible.

Thanks
