The guy that did my frets did an excellent job. There was absolutely no buzzing frets anywhere. If I called him up and told him I think I have some high frets I can just imagine what he would say. It's is much, much more likely that the neck has shifted a bit due to humidity and temperature changes and the fact that it's a new guitar. I doubt very much that my late guitar technician always re-leveled the frets when I told him I had some buzzes developing.

I think I need to adjust the rod but which way?

Well I just got done practicing on my Player Strat and I still got some buzzing. Most every fret has a slight or some frets more noticeable buzz. I took my straight edge and a magnifying glass and looked at the relief at the 8th fret. There is practically none. The straight edge is practically touching the fret. I think I may have straightened the neck too much.
I'm going to put some relief back in the neck and see where that gets me.

Or buy the book I suggested. Really, you need to put a bit of concerted effort into learning how guitars work, not just look for 'yes/no' answers to specific questions. Not knowing which way to turn the rod means you really don't understand what you'd doing; fix that first and all this gets amazingly easy.
