Got a Jagmaster. The action is really low on it. The G string buzzes like crazy even when open. The D string does too but slightly less. I've tried adjusting the saddles, the truss rod, and got it to improve but not completely.

Any ideas?

Common causes:

Action too low
Truss rod needs adjusting
Nut slots cut too low
Bad String
Fret coming up
Uneven frets

Truss rod adjustments sometimes take time to settle in, so if yuo just tweaked the rod, give it a little time to settle. Other than than, it sounds like you got nut issues. Or perhaps a warped neck?

Got it to improve even more by re-adjusting rod and saddles more. Still buzzes but it ain't much worse than normal guitar. Thinking of changing strings w/ Ernie balls 9 gauge and hoping to improve further.

I could take it to the guitar tech, but don't wanna do that if I don't have to.
