Hey

I recently changed my strat from 10s to 11s and then went with the fender specs on tremolo height and saddle height. However, I am still getting fret buzzing from the most of my strings around frets 15-20. I was wondering what action height and tremolo height can be set if you have any tips that would help me understand this situation better.

thanks.

Does this mean you were already getting fret buzz and are trying heavier strings to try and stop it?
...so ever since then, I always hang on to the buckle.

Yes I was before and I am making the transition to 11 gauges. I did figure it out though. It was my truss rod. It needed an adjustment really bad. I still get some fret buzz unplugged but through the amp the buzz isn't being picked up.

Awesome. You just saved yourself $60 or so. :)
