I purchased this guitar new in December of '22 and I'm positively head-over-heels in love with it. The first things I did with it was add heat shrink tubes over the tremolo springs, set the bridge so that it's flush with the surface of the body, adjusted the spring tension so that it was flush all the way around, and then made a few slight adjustments to intonation. Lastly I set up the action and everything was all good. I have noticed just in the past two string changes that I'm getting fret buzz on the low strings. It happens - changes in temperature and humidity can cause the wood to move and flex a bit and other variables can mean some slight adjustments in the neck relief. So after looking it over I had a clear front bow so I adjusted the truss rod to set the neck back flat again. Then the high strings began to fret off on the higher frets. So I checked again and sure enough here's what's happening - if I sight down the side of the low strings and then adjust the neck to flat the side of the high strings winds up with a back bow. If I sight down the side of the high strings and adjust the neck to flat the side of the low strings winds up with a front bow. So I'm fret buzzing on the low strings or fretting off on the high strings. Could it be that the neck is warped? Or perhaps a bad dual action truss rod? I don't think it's string saddle height because I have the saddles set to where the bottom of each string is 1/16th of an inch from the fret at the 12th. But I have never encountered anything like this in 35+ years of playing so I just don't know what to do to solve this issue. Any and all ideas, thoughts, tips, suggestions, personal experiences, humorous anecdotes, and 404 errors of the brain are welcomed!
Thanks!
