Hmm... You might want to set your neck in a better way, using the truss rod, but I highly recommend you let a tech do that, when you screw up, your guitar collapses

If you have no idea about how to do this I would also not really recommend an online guide. If at some point you get all that fret buzz and you want the action even lower you will for sure have to adjust the settings of your guitars neck and this is something that you should not just play around with, also you have to adjust your guitars intonation after all that, if you don't do this properly you will not be able to properly tune your guitar anymore, so I really think it is better to look for somebody that could help you with that job.

I would recommend taking the guitar to a tech to do the job...Maybe you can ask him to "watch and stick around" in order to see how its done. Later on when you know how it should be done you can try it yourself... Action is adjusted both with bridge saddles and with some neck adjustments (truss rod)...

A tech (friend of mine) did it on my guitar last year when I bought new floyd rose. He did many things from measuring something, aligning ... When he fixed the neck he left guitar to hang on the wall for 2 days so the neck can get used to the new "settings". There are many things to think of so I would also recommend an experienced person for that.
