Low frets = toward the nut High frets = toward the body I ask because high action on a straight neck shouldn't have buzz on the high frets without something odd going on which goes beyond a setup issue, which is why the post after asks what it does.

Yngwie would be most upset.

That's good stuff

What is the relief like on both sides of the neck, holding the strings down at the first and last frets? Is is a gradual very slight curve, symmetrical as you move towards the 8th fret in both directions? And what is the relief like if you hold the strings down at the 12th and last frets? Is there a ski jump at the butt of the neck, a warping where the neck bends slightly just before where it gets bolted to the body? If you have a 6" ruler to hand, start looking at how straight 6" sections of the neck are from the first fret to the last. Are there any spots where you see a gap under the middle of the ruler?

When the neck has all the relief dialled out you still get buzzing on the higher frets, but the lower frets are ok, despite the action being uncomfortably high?

If you loosen the strings, that saddle bar probably comes out and you could sand the bottom of it to get the action you want. However... I'd take all the strings off except the A string, since that's what's readily causing the buzz and try to isolate the source of the buzzing first. Hit the string, make it buzz, then put your fingers on what you suspect is vibrating and causing the buzz. Apply pressure to stop the different bits vibrating, e.g. the saddle, the ball ens of the string, the ends of the bridge against the body, check the truss rod isn't slack, strap buttons, tuner keys, even the bracing inside the sound hole.

"as I cannot put the neck any straighter without buzz (truss rod trials)" Buzz where?

A lot of the people on that Rolling Stone list are greatness-challenged which makes their presence on such a list a bit of a puzzle, other than meeting some sort of positive discrimination criteria decreed at boardroom level.

Sounds like it's coming from the bridge? Find out where it's coming from for sure. Does it happen if you play at the first fret? Does it happen if you play the E string at the 5th fret, is it a resonant vibration? Start with the basic setup. Check the neck relief. Check the strings are wound properly on the tuners so there is good pressure on the nut. Check the string clearance from the nut over the first fret. Add pictures of the bridge.

It's a machine which fits into the criteria of the game.

My earliest memory is listening to my Mum's Mother of Invention LPs, specifically Absolutely Free and We're Only In It For The Money. As a result, when it comes to music, anything goes, particularly the more varied and eclectic stuff. I will also call any vegetable, any vegetable at all.
