Hellow guys
how are yah?
i Recently bought an Ibanez S7320 and its a great guitar despising the PICKUPS. ahahah
I live in germany and after some weeks with me(2 or 3) its starting to get some fret buzz from the 15th fret till the end of the neck. more specifically at the 17th fret on the G string. its gets dead.and the last 2 strings are pretty dull at the end of the neck too.

what to do with this? relief or bow down the neck truss rod adjustment? which amount?
the action is high. its about 2 mm at the 12th fret
but i have no ruler to measure these string heights Q: (
ill have to use the "Eye O Meter"
ahahahaha
so..
the other doubts are for another guitar

i have a fender strato american standard comemorative edition of 40 years of the statocaster
its tuned to B standard .
but the intonation at the 6th string seems tome impossible to tune.
its always out . and the saddle position is at the END. theres no more space Backwards to do it.
the gauges is the traditional 013-056 daddario.
i would like to put 060 but it wil surely not improve anything.
Q: /
Any help on this?
do you need photos or something?
that fender and the ibanez are 25.5 scale lenght

and i have a Charvel fusion deluxe. 6 strings also that i tried to put in C or B standard but it has the same problem
i thought that a 25.5 scale length guitar like the fender would be ok with low tunnings but i think im wrong. or either it just works with 24 frets.
and the charvelis 24 frets. but the ibanez and the fender are 25.5

Thanks in advance
JP

for the ibanez. do this. step by step ;) its ok to eyeball and not measure.

IBANEZ RULES!! tech - setup


for the last 2. a thincker string WILL help. try a 60 or 62. if it diesnt fit through the tuning peg. just unwind it a bit then stick it through ;)

also. if there is a spring behind the saddle try removing it before getting another string. it wont give you much. but if your intonation is pretty close it may be just what you need.
