Hi everyone,
So, I guess this is the same old thing as always, but I got myself a Schecter C-7 SLS elite last year (Fixed bridge), and my other axe is an Ibanez Prestige RG 7 (25.5) with a perfect action.
I am struggling to find an action that I am happy with without too much fret buzz on the C7.
Ive had the frets looked at by a luthier, and one of the frets are a *little* bit higher than the rest, but the buzz doesn't only happen there (Currently running 10's)
Currently my string height is at bout 1.6 mm high E, and 2.0 mm Low E with slight buzz, which I guess is fine, but shouldn't it be able to go slightly lower without much buzz?
Then I also wanted to ask: What effect do 09' strings have on action and buzz, and taking into account that the scale length is 26.5?
I know there's a lot to unpack here, but I was hoping someone with more knowledge could help me a bit, as I'm good at doing my own setups, but have no idea if I'm over thinking the action or not.
Maybe Im spoilt with my Ibanez, and the Schecter just wont be able to reach that level of low action and sustain?
