I have an American made strat that is about 2 years old and I have a terrible string buzzing problem. I have raised the saddles as high as they can go and it still buzzes. My guitar is in a upbow. How do I know, how much upbow is too much? Can a guitar with to much upbow cause fret buzz?

Also when I play bar chords it is very hard to play them and my hand becomes fatigued. I took it to a guitar shop to have it setup, but when I got it back it still played bad. I think the person who set it up did'nt know what he was doing.

Should I clamp the upbow out of it myself? I'm hesitant about taking it in to another person to have it setup because the majority of people who set them up, set them up with just a basic setup and do not know how to perform more advanced guitar setup jobs.

Please let my know how high is to high for a upbow and any other thoughts you my have. I would highly appreciate it.
