i have a takamine EG334SC and i am having a problem with the high e string. the second and third frets make the string buzz and it almost deadens the string. any ideas what is wrong with it or what i should do about it?

any help would be great thanks.

either your action is too low or the frets need shaven.

Do a search there are at least 30 other threads with this same question.
