Ello mates.
I play a RG350DX. Has a Edge lll Ibanez floating tremelo.
Works beautifully.
But when i play the lower frets... Lets say... 1-5 the strings buzz.
I raise the tremelo so the buzzing will stop.
But i end up raising it way to high, so it's harder to play.
BUT if i don't raise it high the strings keep buzzing.
Is it possible to keep the tremelo low and stop the buzzing?
Thanks in advance.

| Sounds like your neck has to much bow so your truss rod may need to be
adjusted. ____________________

How does the truss rod work?
I've never had problems till now.
So i don't know how to change all the parts etc.
What happens when you adjust the truss rod?
When you tighten it what happens etc??
Please explain and help.

Adjusting the truss rod changes the amount of curve in the neck.
You need a little bit, but not too much.
It's easy to get wrong if you don't know what you're doing so it's best
handled by a pro.
Tightening it reduces the curve and loosening increases it. ____________________
