Dang sorry for no pics yet...long story there.

So, Michael, you were right on. The problem with the high 3 strings was indeed that there virtually was no angle in the nut slots. A very fast fix with nut files. The guitar now rings as it should!

I think the only other thing to be done with the guitar for now is probably a good fret re-dressing, which I don't have the money for. The buzz is all over the guitar with good relief and pretty good action (meaning, even with action raised up and a bit of relief I'm getting the exact same buzz all over the fretboard in different spots, some of which are "fret-outs").

Thanks for all the advice again.
