What frets/strings are you getting the buzz on. . . . apparently you have a stop-tail so you may have to adjust the bridge, and coactively adjust the action. . . . I would assume that you could eventually get most of the buzz to go away. . . that would be my suggestion. . . or perhaps it is the gauge you are using. . . but eh, hope that helped.

what are you tuned to? if you tune too low without heavier gage strings there is less tension on the neck and it will cause alot of buzz

Just adjust your truss rod. People say not to...i.e. take it to a shop, bullshit! They charge a bunch of money and you know what they do? They take out a an allen wrench and turn your truss rod. That'll be $48 dollars please. It's not hard to figure out, just read, it's cheaper. Plus once you know how to do everything, it will give you a much better understanding of your guitar as well as guitars in general. Now acoustic guitars, those are worth taking to a shop.

i had this happen on a number of ocasions, i either take a hot glue gun, shoot some glue in the nut and let it site for a sec, or cut off a tiny slice of a thin pick (.40 etc) and set it in the nut with the string over it
