hey guys, i just got my guitar that i made and it is finally playable. Yet there is a problem, from the 5th fret up (towards the 1st) on my E, A, and D strings (a little on the G string) there is a hell of a lot of string buzzing going on. Otherwise the thing sounds pretty damn good, its intonating a little sharp though

    yeah right, yours truly did it. there is not open spot on my neck for truss rod adjustment, i dont think its that. will raising the saddles do any good?

    the truss rod screw must be at the neck joint. you would have to loosen the strings and neck screws to tilt the neck back and get at it.

    i think it's a combination of neck curvature and saddle height.
