| Welcome Tom.
Loosen the strings, remove 'one' shim and retune. Whether it buzzes or not depends on string guage, fret levels, and straightness of the neck. Trial and error, as it were.

with each minor turn on the truss, allow the neck to settle in for a few hours... |

Thanks for the welcome. With respect to Answers; sometimes it's just the thought that counts !!
OK, I have removed the strings from 1858LX and removed the shim and now the action is nearly perfect. Thank you to every one for the encouragement. I'll start another thread to tell you how a came about owning this guitar.
Regards,
Tom |
