I'm getting a buzz on the 6th string (a plain .020) in the open position. The string set is D'Addario Prosteels XL. When I bar the strings everything seems fine but I just don't like that buzz. Do you think a slightly thicker gauge string would eliminate it? Thanks.

Try a drop of oil on the roller nut axle on either side of the roller.

Allan...You might also try releasing the string tension and rotating the roller nut a 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
