The Horizon FR2 is here, shredders will love this thing, it plays very damn well & really FAST. There is no way I could do any of the stuff I do on this thing on a les paul. Now it's time to switch to some passives.

The downside is that Floyd is a pain in the ass to setup. I had to change the gauge & tune it to my non-traditional & it took me a WHILE to bring this thing to where it should be.
 
Congrats! I had one and loved it.

Now I have 3 Full Thickness Eclipses (Vintage Black, Silverburst, Snow White) and they are my favorite geetars eva. :rock:

my KH2 NT has always had a buzz on the 1-2 frets from the day the baby arrived me from the factory. so i had to give more space to the neck.
if you adjust the truss rod in the right way - with just a little bow this playing the notes with a little effort on the fist 2 frets, you got the buzz!
i can raise the action or leave more bow oin the neck to avoid this, but this is not a correct setup.

i'think she needs a little fret leveling...
what's your opinion?
 
Although I do all my setups myself (since there is nobody else who can do it the way I want it, besides I change tunings & gauges so often that I would need to hire someone to keep up with it :D ), I'm not a pro. That said bowing the neck is definitely not the way to go. It all depends on where the buzz comes from, if fret leveling might help then it's definitely worth doing. If it's the neck that is screwed then it is what it is.
 
i just checked the guitar and played with the amp on, seems i have found the right set up :)
the buzz come just if i pick hard the E and a strings (10-46).
of course it is not noticeable on the speakers.
