Does it work in conjunction adjustment with the truss rod or on its own?

I am keen to lower the action on my strat but the strings buzz from the 7th fret and higher.

Does the micro tilt have anything to do with the action from the 12th fret and up?

Thanks

The micro tilt is used to shim the neck without having to remove the neck and put some shim material into the neck pocket.

It changes the angle or tilt of the neck to the body.

Pre micro-tilt you had to adjust the neck to body angle by removing the neck and inserting thin wood shims between the neck heel and the body cavity.

Neck to body angle helps get the strings aligned properly

With micro-tilt you just loosen the neck bolts a bit, adjust the set screw inside (through the hole in the neckplate with the handy allen wrench) re-tightent the neck bolts and you are good to go.
