There are a lot of things that can cause fret buzz, actually. I'm not quite expert enough to say what it might be in your case, but there are some good resources on the web about all the possible causes. Here's one that I've looked at myself:

http://www.frets.com/FRETSPages/Luthier/Technique/Setup/BuzzDiagnosis/buzzintro.html

You could always take it to a shop or somewhere to have them do a setup on it, they'd basically tune all the adjustments to a good setting. But a lot of it is fairly simple and you could do it yourself if you did some research and/or got the tools.

Best of luck,

sounds like the action needs to be raised, or the relief in the neck changed. Right guys? Man, it's been at least 3 years since I've fixed one of these problems, I'm not even sure if my diagnosing is right here. "Relief" <Am I making that up?
