Fret Buzz on PRS Silver Sky?

I find the Silver Sky is a bit buzzy at factory spec, if it doesn’t happen with open notes it is usually that you need to have a touch of relief in the neck and perhaps raise the action a bit. My rosewood SS played much better with the saddles about 1 turn above factory spec and a bit of neck relief-about 0.10 (less buzz, no fretting out) The maple one I have now is perfect from the factory, I havent changed anything. I’ve never had any buzz from the bridge, tuners, springs or anything else.

It is possible it has a high fret, and the little vintage frets do wear more quickly than I’m accustomed to, so have the frets levelled and crowned would probably be the next step
 
Thanks, I'll give it a go. I read of various owners having no buzz with factory specs, so I"m thinking, why not me too?! My strat has more relief and higher strings and plays fine. And like you say, the guitar will acclimatize for awhile.
It’s a good point-PRS tends to run the action really low-it can work well if you have light touch and perfect humidity etc, but I prefer a bit of forgiveness in my guitar
