I purchased the Standard Balladeer 1771 a week ago, love the guitar, but for some reason the low E buzzes. Has anyone else had this trouble and how do I go about fixing it? The neck appears to be straight as best I can tell.

Congrats on an excellent guitar. You can read my early post on how I adjusted the relief and action on my new MEWP. The first thing you should do is adust the action by adding or removing shims under the saddle. Then adjust the truss rod. If these adjustments don't separately fix your problem, then do them in concert. ie, remove the shims, then adjusting the truss rod. If that doesn't work, add a shim and adjust the truss rod, if that doesn't work, then add a shim and adjust the truss rod etc. At each adjustment you don't want the e string to be more than 3.5/32 clearance between the top of the 12th fret and the e string.
If none of these work, bring it to a tech.
