Well, it's either that the neck relief is screwed up, the fret isn't level, or the action on the e string is too low. Did this problem start suddenly? Does the neck buzz anywhere else? Post more details about the problem...

well...it's been buzzing ever since i got it...never got it setup money is a little tight...i doesn't buzz anywhere else but that dang 7th fret...when you fret the low e and a on 7th fret it actually touches the 8th fret...it's horrible you can't get a clean note out of it

Read through the setup steps on my pages below. It sounds like neck relief which is pretty easy to adjust. None the less it is worth at least going through the measurements on my page to find out if it is off even if you don't want to do the adjustments yourself.
