    Geez Doc, you have invested heavily in many parts that have mostly turned out duds. Hope your luck changes for the better soon.

    Quite often the simplest upgrades or modifications end up working out best. For those buzzing frets have you looked at raising bridge level a small amount on that side. Sure it will compromise the action a poofteenth but if it gets rid of the buzz, job done. How is the string length and overall intonation as they may be contributing factors too. Whilst on strings what gauge are you running as sometimes really light gauge doesn't have much tension and can also be part of the fret buzz problem.

    If it was my guitar I would look at string height at the nut and if ok gradually raise at bridge until buzzing disappears. If neck bow is too concave see if there is enough adjustment left to straighten it out a bit and after every change re-check the intonation. Eventually you will get rid of the buzz and hopefully still have an action that is playable. If not, finish off best you can and hang on the wall as a conversation furniture piece.
