I was surprised when I got the guitar to be able to play, that I did not notice the fret ends sticking out as I was sanding and finishing the neck. I ran my hands down the edges several times and never noticed, but once I got the strings on, it was biting me. And the first time I put the strings on that guitar I thought I fucked something up really majorly bad. None of the strings would ring an open note, I would just get a terrible buzz sound with no note as the strings were touching several frets, like every one of them. It turned out that the nut that cane with the kit is way too short for the way the headstock is routed to meet the neck. I went and looked in my drawer of random guitar parts and I had another nut, and it was luckily the right width, and the height was right too. Suddenly she sprang to life
LOL I am assuming you've already adjusted the action.
yeah I did that when the neck sprout was a problem, at least I could do that. I could possibly make it even lower but I'm not sure. Its pretty sweet already
I usually aim for as low as it can go without buzzing. I like my action low.
