Fret buzz on a Tele Deluxe RI...What am I doing wrong?

[RumorsOFsurF]

I tightened the trussrod, and I think it's better now.  I didn't think it had too much relief...I even measured it. 

I turned the amp up, and it doesn't come through noticeably.  I think it should be fine for now.  I may even put the old saddles back on.

It could have been the truss itself that rattled at certain frequencies when too loose, or have you located it as FRET buzz? 

- I've heard that "truss buzz" with a couple of Basses, anyway.

I haven't located the fret buzz, no....That could be part of it.  The neck's almost DEAD flat now, but the buzz is less.

Definitely not the nut, because it does it when fretting almost exclusively.  Also, the guitar is like 2 months old, so the frets show no wear.  Frustrating, eh?  Sad

It could still be the nut. If the slots are too low, then the angle the string makes when fretted will be off. Try putting some thin (like 9's ) string pieces under each string to raise them a little off the nut and see if it persists.

Also, if the neck has a raise in it where the neck is bolted on that will cause a buzz. Did you sight down the neck to see if it has a rise there?

Also maple fingerboards are notorious for buzzing. Does it have a maple fingerboard?

Buzzing necks piss me off. My strat did that when I got it in 1974 but it had a rise in it.  It doesnt take much either.
