Right, got a small technical issue.
My Squier VM Jazzmaster (the "Jizzmaster" as I call it) is mostly a nice sounding, very playable cheap guitar, especially now it has a staytrem bridge.
However, despite trying a lot of different adjustments and string heights, I get fret buzz, but only on the low E string at the 9th fret...
Now the 10th fret is a bit higher than the 9th and 11th, but a TINY bit, its not rocking around like nickel elvis, and I've got perfect playing guitars where the frets arent all level (though I appreciate a trip to a tech would allow for a lower action).
Any ideas how to resolve this? Currently the strings are off as I've been fiddling so much the high E snapped, so I can do most things to it.
You are the dreamer, and the dream...

This is likely to cost about £80 from a luthier.
It will cost a lot more to buy the tools yourself (as I did) and learn how to do it. That ideally needs a notched straight edge, fret rocker, leveling beam and 'dedicated' files. It also takes a fair amount of care and attention!
This is, as stated, likely to be due to a high fret.
