So anyway, my neck is dead straight now. The problem is i can't have an even somewhat low action without string buzz all over the place. I tried using a lighter guage set of strings (100-45) so it wouldn't be as bad, but no difference. I even tried giving a slight bow to the neck but no luck. I guess the nut slots are too deep?
When you say string buzz all over the place, is it on the open strings only, or on all frets? Many years ago I put a lighter guage of string on my 4001, and found that it buzzed on the open strings because the smaller strings had sunk deeper into the nut slot. If its just the open strings, you may indeed need a diffrent nut. If it's on the fretted notes too, the nut is not the cause.
Also, if you have gone to a lighter guage of strings, its possible you now have a backbow in the neck, as the rod is tensioned to pull back against a higher force than you now have. Do the straightedge test other forum members have mentioned
