Because on mine with 2/32 and 3/32 on 12fth fret, I get considerable buzzing when I play hard, and it looks to me like dave always plays very hard, yet I don't hear any buzzing on his guitar???

take your guitar to a repair shop and have your action adjusted. Just a little turn of your truss rod might do the trick.

If you have a Taylor go to their website and guitars>reference>tech sheets> Truss Rod adjustments.

You can do it at home and it works great...I just dialed mine in last night.
If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But ONLY if you're serious about adopting the vulture.

Yeah, be careful about doing it though. If you're not, then you could snap the truss rod and ruin your guitar. Not trying to scare you, just a word of advice. Me persoanlly, would take it to the shop and pay the $5 that it takes for them to do it.
