Firstly, hi everyone, I'm new to the forums.
Secondly, I'm looking for tips and tricks on how to get my action as low as possible without buzz (and without using super-heavy strings). I'm using an Ibanez Prestige RG2570 with (I believe) an Edge Pro trem. At the moment, the low E is just over 3mm above the 12th fret, and the high E is 2mm above the 12th fret. Is that considered to be fairly low action?
I'm getting some fairly significant buzz on the G and low E strings, especially on fretted notes. The neck has a little relief in it, but to get rid of the buzz on the low frets I need to give it way more relief than it should have.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with the way the Edge Pro is set up. I have it set so the baseplate is parallel to the body.
By the way, I'm using Elixir 10-46 strings. I'll provide pics when I get the chance.
And before any of you tell me to take it to a luthier, I'm trying to learn to do this sort of stuff myself so I don't have to fork out $40 AUD every time I want to set my guitar up.
