Thanks TD,

that may or may not be "the culprit - but if the neck socket is normally 18mm, then I should bring mine down to that depth also (at the moment its 16.5 to 17 mm)...just so I can say "it's not that".

By the way, is the back of the neck heel normally slightly rounded (not the end of the heel, the back)?

The back of the neck heel is flat.

For the low E buzz:
Is it for all frets or just some?
Is your neck set to slightly concave? Can you raise the low E bridge saddle a touch?
