What about a new saddle? If the bottom E is buzzing when capo’d, then a new nut won’t fix that. You’ve either got a high fret end or one end of the saddle is too low or the neck has a twist in it (or some combination of those).

Fretted or capo'd there are no buzzes except at the first fret on the low E. Even on the low E there are no buzzes when fretted at the 2nd fret or higher. So I am thinking it's a high fret end. It's not severe, though. I'll try taking the end down a hair. If that does not work... I am ordering a bone bridge just in case. I waited until today for the nut blanks to arrive. The description didn't tell me whether the nuts would be bleached or natural, but their weren't many choices. Now that they have arrived, I can get a matching saddle for if need be.Originally Posted by Simon Barden
Right, of course. The 2nd fret was a bit high. I thought that might do it, but alas, the nut appears to be just a tad low on the bass side. Saddle blanks just got here in the mail... That's next. There's a little buzz in the other acoustic too, which I think might be saddle related too. The fun never stops!
