The action was too high even with the adjustable neck since the fingerboard was bowed up from the 12 fret to the soundhole. The fingerboard was also bowed across the width at the soundhole. This caused more buzzing on those upper frets and poor intonation (sharp notes!)above the 3rd fret. I removed the 6 upper frets, filed the fingerboard to ramp downhill from the 12 fret, added shorter new frets. Now the neck can be adjusted for low action, no buzzing and good intonation.
