*assume you have tried a new string to eliminate a rogue string casing the issue*
2) You need some fallaway added to the end of the neck via a careful fret dress, and return the action to nearly straight (low relief) and set the action to the desired amount

- Stuck a new set of strings on but still have the same buzz.
- With less relief it buzzes on every fret (but never the open string) with more relief the buzz starts around the 8th fret and stops after the 13th
- Capo on any of the first few frets doesn't make any difference
- Tried taking the string out of the groove in the saddle and resting it on the saddle itself just in case the groove was too low - still no difference.
- Raised action to the point you'd need to take a taxi between the string and the fretboard - better but not really playable.
I've got the nut it came with (there's a bone nut on there now) so my next thought is to stick the old nut on and see if that makes any difference.
No buzz on the open string means it's not the nut - if anything it's higher than it needs to be - so don't bother changing that.
