Not a bad book that. If I see it somewhere, I'll pick it up. Looks like a keeper, like the Guitar Handbook by Ralph Denyer.
I know right off that the action is not too low. It's medium, not even the fastest guitar I have. Plenty of clearence from the fretboard and pickups.
The buzz was coming from the spring behind the saddle, which has a screw going through it to adjust the intonation. So while I was looking how to adjust the height of the saddle I loosened that screw a little (half a turn) and ta-da!! fixed.
I haven't checked the intonation again, but it may involve just turning that spring a little bit so the string clears it or it sits firmer and doesn't buzz if I need to retighten that screw to get the intonation right. Unusual for a brand new Fender
I'll let you know if there are any more probs. How touchy is the intonation? Will just one turn of the screw ruin it?
Thanks for your help allthumbs.
