Interesting. That's just about what I found. There was not so much frank buzzing as interference with the strings and it seemed to be up at the higher frets. When I cranked the truss rod about 1/8 turn and got the relief to around 0.004" it went from kind of intermittently sounding good, depending on where I was playing, to just solidly sounding good all the time, everywhere.
