I brought my guitar to the tech for its "yearly maintenance" and we talked about raising my action a bit. Like most metal guitarists, I like the action to be very low. But, especially since I have a ToM bridge, I tend to get a "decent" fret buzz, coming from the 1st couple of frets I assume.
I guess that since we're playing mostly with high level of gains, it doesn't matter? Or maybe it does? Does it add unwanted resonance perhaps? Or is it just an issue for clean licks.
Cause I think I have enough buzz so that the pickups "catch it". What is the lowest action that you think is ok? My tech told me slightly above 400 thou (if I remember his words right).
I'm no tech btw, so maybe I misunderstood his numbers.
