Did you site down the neck and make sure you don't have a convex bow? That could be fixed with a truss rod adjustment. I don't reccomend trying this yourself.

Worse yet, since you only have a problem on one side of the neck, you could have a neck wind.

I would pack that guitar off to a good guitar shop, friend, and get someone with a lot of experience to check it out.

StratyLesPaul, setting up your guitar should have taken care of any problems, this has become a conundrum. if I could look at the guitar up close I could give an assessment but the Bros here will help you solve this. are pics possible? maybe a vid so you can show us what is happening?

I raised the action and some of the buzz went away but it was really hard to play.
