2. My Carvin just started buzzing at the nut when I play D, Eb, And E on the G string. Neck is fine, looks like it has just the slightest curve, which is good. Any ideas?
If this is the wrong forum, please move. Didn't know whether this would fall under "Setup" or not.
Not too dry, not too humid... 40% < x < 60%, but it's just a guess

There were some threads where it turned out that the string was at a wrong breaking angle. A bigger angle worked in many cases.

If you look at the string, it's a straight line from the bridge to the nut (if it's tuned up, that is ), but at the nut, it changes angle as it goes to the tuner. That is the breaking angle.
How to adjust it?
Either get a new string, leave it longer then the previous one, and wind it lower, nearer to the bottom of the tuner to have a bigger angle. Or rewind the string like this.

Nah, it's not fret buzz, the sound is coming from the nut. Every day the intensity of it seems to change. Out here, we just went from a couple 80-degree days to 50 degree days. CT is f'd up!
So I'll adjust the breaking angle first (seems to be pretty high on all the strings), and if the buzzing doesn't stop when the weather starts to be more consistent, I'll take it to get its truss rod tweaked.
