hey guys, i have had my custom 57' gold top reissue for about 6 years now and never had this issue before. couple months ago i changed strings, i went from 10's to 11's. was having an issue since then with buzzing on the a string around the 9-12 frets. tried some bridge hight adjusting and couldn't really get rid of it.
i have tightened the truss rod some and now have horrible audible buzzing when hitting the open a string now.
bridge height is 5/64 on the low e at the 15th fret while holding the first fret down. high e is 4/64 while holding the first fret down as well.
i have feeler gauges for the truss rod but can't seem to use them that well. with a capo at the first fret and fretting the last fret, the string height at the 7 or 8 fret is minimal.
here is a video, hopefully you can hear that audible buzz while hitting that open a compared to the other strings.
