[QUOTE=wazkelly;122488]Hi Alkay. Dead flat neck is a good place to start and then play each note on each string all the way to the top to see where it starts buzzing by touching nearby frets. This would indicate that particular string is bit low. Presume this is what you have mapped out above?
From your measurements and the fact it is a Gibson style Tune-a-matic bridge I reckon you need to gradually raise the 'Chin' low E side up a small amount at a time and keep on re-checking until you eliminate most, if not all of the fret buzzing. If you end up going a fair amount higher and still have some buzzing that could indicate other issues (let's hope not just for now).
Should mention that once you get the bridge height just about right to re-check intonation as that will most likely need a bit of adjustment too. Don't forget to also keep checking the high E string to make sure other adjustments haven't had an adverse effect.[/QUOTE
heers waz. Yes I was doing chromatic scales on every string to the 22nd fret.
I will take your advice and try slowly adjusting the bridge height.
