Thanks, that's what I thought.
I took the guitar into the store today and the tech took a brief look at it between other jobs. He said the nut slot was fine and he made some adjustments that resolved some of the buzz, but not all of it.
I decided to try restringing it with more winds so I put a new string on there tonight and that helped a bit too but it still hasn't entirely eliminated the buzz from the G string (all of the other strings are fine).
So I guess I will have to put another string tree on there. Because the G string sits kind of high between the nut and the tuner I am thinking I will put a spacer in there so as not to be bringing the string right down to the headstock the way the string tree does on the B and E strings.
