Hi, can anybody help me?
I`ve a Squir Affinity Strat, and many strings are buzzing, although i set the riders at the tremolo on highest position...
should i change the neck position? or is there another way to change the height of the strings?

Your truss rod may need adjusting (not something to do if you are new to the guitar - take it to a shop and have them adjust it) it's a fairly cheap adjustment. The truss rod is the metal bar in the middle of the neck witch straightens or bends the neck.

thank u, are there any special tools, to adjust this rod, (when i am experienced enough to do such things ;-))?, or can i do it with an normal imbus (i think the english word is allen) screwdriver??

Yeah just a normal allen key (the hexagonal, 6 sided one) will do the job just fine. If you do take it to a shop ask them if you can watch them do the alteration so that you can learn and do it yourself in the future. You could easily do damage if you did it yourself without knowing exactly what to do.

I hope this solves the problem.
