If you run a length of tape up each side of the neck along the fretboard edge, [First, before the across pieces...] you can then peel the across fret bits of tape off in a one-er...
I use one of those thin metal fret shields.

I have a EHX Headphone Amp... more durable than those VoxAmp plug things, it works well after pedals etc. But is very sterile as no cab sim etc.

Artec used to do an On-Board headphone amp, but again sound like an instrument, not an instrument into an amp, cab, in a room.

How hard, and how are you plucking the strings?
Pic or Finger?
If finger pushing the string up/down, rather than in - out.
Try a lighter touch, fret buzz still there?

Ease the neck Up and Out Vertical...
That way you can check for a shim,
Plus the neck pocket / neck is a taper, and you don't / won't want to be Sliding it Horizontal.
Blow out the body and neck holes, often a bit of breakthru at the neck hole, i always like a hint of countersink and a wipe of cangle wax or hard hand soap on the threads for reassembly to stop any snagging.
Nip up! they are Wood Screws not Machine Bolts.

More to go wrong, how often is a nut in need of adjustment.
A proper 'channel' to facilitate a nut swap for say string guage - Light, Med, Heavy would improve a lot of tuning issues, and maybe Hi and Lo starter options.

And i don't think they should line up... would half the point of single saddles be to place them to follow the string run, Same as to the pegs past the nut.

Don't like the powdery feel of the tortex material, and they are too stiff for the thickness.
