Hi all, I picked up a Vegatrem just recently and I'm having some trouble with the action - or to be precise, with the buzzing especially above the 12th fret. I set the truss rod and the nut height, but when it comes to the bridge, I set the G and D string saddles as high as they'll go before the top of the saddle would travel beyond the top of the adjustment screw. I compared it to my old bridge - Vegatrem's saddle height adjustment screws are 7mm long, whereas my standard trem is 9mm and my last configuration for G and D string was above 8mm from the plate.
I don't know what else to check for. If I should straighten the truss rod, I'll get buzzing below the 12th fret too, I already had to adjust for that. The tilt of the trem itself is perfect, it's parallel with the body just as it should be.
Is there something else I can do before asking for a refund? Lower the frets? Have saddles be above the adjustment screws (meaning, to be only partially attached to the screw)? How safe is that?
