are you wrapping your strings in a downward angle, or going upwards? I had a friend with the same problem, because his strings were wrapped almost straight across, instead of being angled down around the post.

Have you tried releasing tension on the truss rod? You would then need to lower the bridge saddles accordingly.

well i got it down to just from the 12th fret forward the a and d buzz. i did this by adjusting the bridge as much as i can and by doing about a half turn left on the truss rod
