Needing help on strings set to high

Have been working with the intonation trying to master this in it's self and have done pretty good but theres a problem with the strings being set to high
I've tried lowing but always seem to get the fret buzz also changed the nut out getting really frustrating
Placed a little shimm into the neck joint to maybe bend the neck back slightly helped alittle but not enough for what I'm looking for does anyone have any suggestions :confused:

hav you tried the truss rod, thats what im workin on the now for my buzz.

What kind of guitar? Fender?
Truss rod adj. could help, but if the buzz is on the high end, not too much help there. If you're driving a fender, go to fender.com and download the techincal pdf for your model. You'll find all of the factory settings for string height, pickup height etc. Also, the guage of the strings will obviously affect the whole neck/bridge setup. What condition are your fret-wires in? If you've got divots in 'oft played frets, you're kinnda limited...

I don't play much music above the 15th so I can setup a tad on the high side, and be buzz-less, with a minimal relief in the neck. Sortta holistic setup I guess. It's not easy to be buzz free and low set, on the high end. (fast)

I used to do a lot of setup on fixed neck acoustics, clamps, heat-lamps and stuff. Oh the bliss of an adjustable neck and bridge! :eek:

Hope that helps somewhat.

I'll try your suggestion my fret wires are new
Don't play much either above the 15th but when I do some scale practicing
the strings seem a little to high and if setting the strings to low they'res fret buzz but when i set them low this is where I like them
guess i'll just need to go to fender.com and do a complete overhall Thanks again be back soon Thanks everyone I'll try the truss also
