A simple n00b question

Sup Jag-stang.com?

i recently obtained a '91 MIJ jaguar, on ebay,

the guy before me keep terrible care of the jag, so it was messy and had the stock Jaguar Bridge, which meant lots of buzzing in the bridge, so around chirstmas i got myself a mustang bridge, fit it on and just cant seem to make the problems stop

here are the problems

heavy Buzzing on the low E string

Cant fully bend on low e string around 12th fret,

and general buzzing every where else below the 12th fret

is there any way to fix the bridge to prevent these, or do i need a buzz stop or what?

How about a Tune-O-Matic?

I just finished shimming my neck, and raising the bridge to compensate.

I actually have lower action and more sustain.

Sounds like you might need just a good ol' fashion set up.

Check to see if the neck is straight. Sounds like there could be a back bow in it...

Yeah, try a set up first.

someone said: Yeah, try a set up first.

by set up you mean,.......

Get it's neck set right. It should be slightly bowed in - strings are further from the neck - no fret buzz. But you could start by raising the bridge (not the saddles.. well, you can't anyway) and see if that helps.
