I just recently purchased my first guitar (an ESP MH-50) online and am having a problem with the 6th string buzzing. I dug around on the net a bit and read that a new guitar should usually be "set up" by a professional. I took it in to the local Sam Ash store and just got it back this evening. The 6th string still buzzes like crazy. If i pick lightly its doesnt do it as bad.

Is this normal? Did i misunderstand what "set up" is? Could improper picking technique be the cause of my problem?

Thanks in advance...

There are a few possible reasons for the buzzing, but I'd take it back to the tech who did the setup at the Sam Ash store, explain the problem and tell him or her to get it right.
