What bullshit, vibrato bar. The action is either too low needs adjusting at saddles and bridge or the neck needs to be adjusted at truss rod, or some of the frets were installed badly, these are the only things that cause buzzes in necks. Is this a new guitar or used how old is it ?

Well I cant add anything more to what Vinny said ,but no your guitar should not be buzzing. If you just bought it bring it back and tell them you guys have to make an adjustment as the guitar is buzzing bad. This way they know you know what your talking about and will get off there asses.

One cannot always expect a shop to sell a guitar with perfect intonation and action, but it should always be playable, especially an expensive guitar.

A hot tech makes all the difference between an okay guitar to play and the setup from Heaven. Best of fortune and enjoy your new pal-with-strings.
