Hi, I did manage to make all buzzes disappear, but my question is at one point, I counter-clockwised the truss rod, until it feels loose (no more pressure).
Did I damage the neck?
How will you damage it, too much counter-clockwise like I did or too much clockwise until it backbow too much?

I can't get the recommended height:
12th fret- treble side - 3/64"
12th fret - bass side - 5/64"

This is what I get:
12th fret- treble side - 1.75mm
12th fret - bass side - 2.5mm

If I lower the saddle down, it start buzzing from fret 7, can't get lower that what I've got.
