Bolt on neck problems/ HELP

5/3/2003 1:14 PM
David	Bolt on neck problems/ HELP I bought a collection of parts to put together a tele. I got the guitar together, but despite the fact that the nut has barely been slotted and the saddles are raised about as high as they can go, I'm still getting string buzz from around the 7th fret UP. I've tried adjusting the truss rod. I've tried shimming the neck from the top of the pocket and from the bottom of the pocket. The only thing I know to do next is to start sanding the neck heel. That seems a little extreme. Anybody got any suggestions?
