MABB v6.6.6

When I strum a string it creates an extra high pitched buzz after the real sound plays out. Do you call that excessive action? What can I do?

this should be good.

I am not hundred percent sure. But I don't think it's feedback.

I'll try to upload a small audio file here after work

is it coming through your amp, or off of the strings?

Off the strings.

Fret buzz. Your action is too low.

that's one way to put it

yeah, as shadowalk said, the action could be low, or it could be a bad fret job from the factory. try raising the action a bit to see if it alleviates the buzz, if you're unable to get the buzzing to stop at a comfortable string height, you might want to look into bringing your guitar for a setup and have them check the frets to see if any need to be filed down.
 
poor fretwork is sadly common with mass-produced guitars. pretty much all of mine needed some extra work in that department.

Thanks Shadow Walk and Hitoshura I will look into this. Does this cost a lot if bring my guitar to a shop for set up?

i don't think i've ever paid for a setup, but i think $50-100 is pretty common. i'd expect you'd wind up on the low side since a setup for a fixed bridge guitar is going to be far less labor-intensive than a floyd style setup. find some local shops and call around.

real men setup their own floyd rose   ..initially learning how to setup my floyd rose was such a pain in the dick. i can get it done fairly fast now, maybe 15-20 minutes.
 
ironman, does this happen regardless of where you play on the neck?  does it happen on all frets (open or fretted) and/or strings? you could have what's known as a deadspot. deadspots are usually the result of uneven frets. i've heard that tuning lower or using a capo can "fix" a deadspot, never had issues with it myself.
 
it could be something simple like a screw somewhere not being tight enough, this video kind of sounds like your issue.

I only know how to set up mine because of Uni.
