Actually I don't think the frets are that bad Waz.

In my mucking around I set the height at the 12th fret on all strings to 2mm, which is when I noticed the buzz. As it was getting late in the afternoon I didn't do much after that, however I suspect that the buzz may disappear if I go to 2.5mm or even 3mm. It is a very light barely discernible buzz at 2mm on the 13th, 14th and 15th frets so I'm pretty confident that 2.5mm will clear it.

My bigger drama is the nut height. Almost feel as though I need to get the angle grinder out to knock it down a couple of story's. There is easily a 1mm or more gap on the 1st fret when holding down on the 3rd fret. Strings are at least 4mm above the 1st fret when open.... That's lumberjack territory... but I suppose it's better than being too low...

I'll wait until the new tuners arrive and get them fitted before getting the chainsaw out on the nut ....


"Persuasion" is an interesting word Waz..... by all means, be my guest, please elaborate....
