Telecaster copy fret buzz - advice?

MetalDog

Right I got a Telecaster copy on trade on Adverts a few days ago.

Only thing wrong is that the 3rd string at the 5th fret buzzes.

That's all - no other string buzzes at any point on the neck.

I attach a pic of the bridge, as its neither the "ashtray" style nor the strings-through-body hardtail bridge with 6 cast saddles. Instead as you can see its one adjustable tele style for each string.

So any advice on how to eliminate the fret buzz - thanks in advance!

Sounds like the action is sligtly too low. Just take an allen key to the saddle of the buzzing string and raise it by a turn or two to see if the buzz goes. see if that works. this might change the intonation so using a tuner check the string open and on the 12th fret are still reading a 'g'. post if it isnt and i'll reply with the next steps

Thanks Damonjewel will try that, as soon as I get a little allen key that fits the grub screw. Let you know.
