You should specify "Generally at the 17th" because the trick is actually when the neck and body join.
18th on mine

@Eldererr depends who you buy it from ... also if you use different strings (different brand, core, and or guage), or change anything on the guitar you need to do this and also reset the intonation and action too ... after setup recheck and readjust the overall setup accordingly maybe every month or two

wait do i need to do this when i bought my new guitar or my new guitar is already setup?

I was about to leave a mean comment about the heavy breathing but I would have done the exact same thing.

@inkey2 luck mine that i don't get a death note, but like i have a 100 watts amplifier, i should play it kinda' loud, so i get the most os the guitar and the amplifier, but i don't, so it's annoying to hear it, but on concerts i play it louder. but ty anyways for the time spent, cheers.

@eliteslayer66 yeah, the old Fenders were like that....have to take the neck off to adjust the rod. It really is not that big a deal. Just loosen your string about 5 turns each, unscrew the neck screws on the back and remove the neck. Do it slowly and mak sure that if there are any slim pieces of wood (shims) placed under the neck that you leave them in the same position when you put the neck back on.

@dropeify the thing is, an electric guitars intended purpose is to be played through an amplifier since it is not an acoustic guitar. If you are not hearing the fret buzz through your amp (but hear it when not plugged into an amp) forget about it....especially if you always play through an amp with distortion
