I own a McCarty 594, made in Maryland, it had been buzzing on the first three frets on the GBE strings. And it would "bottom out" when I did bends up in the teens... I did a truss rod adjustment and set the intonation, which initially took care of the buzzing, but left me with an action height that you could slice boiled eggs with. I took it into the local PRS dealer and they messed with it for a half hour and tweaked here and there and then said that they recommended removing the frets from the 12 to the 22nd and sanding down the fretboard--apparently due to a "Ramping" effect. It would be 4 months before they could get to it and this is my main gig tool. I bought this guitar to be the end of a trail of lower end workhorses that lacked that pro feel & response. I absolutely love it and have come to depend upon the tonal control. Well, I am a bit shocked about the ramping in such a well built (and for me) expensive guitar.
I am at a severe loss for what to do? Any suggestions from the good folks on this forum?
