I just screwed my bridge adjustments!

I was trying to raise the action a little bit but then it got way too high and got the intonation all messed up. How much buzz is normal? And about how high should the action be?

I set mine at about 2mm on the low E and about 1.6mm on the high E (with .010s). The measurements for the others should fall in line with that. Slight fret buzz is normal, but depends on action, neck relief, and string guage; A heavier set can actually be set lower without buzz than a light set. Set your action first, and then re-check the intonation.

Edit to add -- I measure from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the string.
