Just started recently. Guitar is set up pretty well (intonation at 12th fret, string height, etc.) I did the set up myself. I basically lowered the strings to the point where they would buzz and then raised them until they didn't anymore... while keeping the saddles close to the same angle as the nut. Maybe it just needs to be re-strung... it's been a couple of months. The only other issue I can think of is that I installed an ash tray cover. It never has been a problem, but I imagine it does affect the movement, or lack thereof, of the saddles somewhat. Any suggestions? Thanks CJ 8)

Sounds like you need new strings.

Just turn the axle-jack a 1/4 inch.

If you have worn the tops of the frets flat the string can actually buzz on the top of the stopped fret.
