I bought a 2020 Les Paul Studio with nothing on it and added the tuners bridge and electronics myself. I have loosened the nut on the truss rod all the way and the strings still buzz on the fret next to the one I am fingering. I have raised the bridge pretty high just to see if I could get rid of the buzz, but no joy. Anyone know if there is a way to get the neck to give more relief?

Sounds like the neck is overbowed - not underbowed.
Take a picture?

What is the relief and the other setup parameters (first fret and 12th fret action). What gauge strings are you using. What is the next fret clearance all the way down the neck (what is it at one, does it get bigger or smaller or stay the same?)
