String height and neck relief, that's pretty much all there is to it. So either your neck is too straight, which doesn't give the fretted string enough room to vibrate hence buzz, or your strings are too low which has the same effect.

Ive just brought home my new Ibanez RG470AH (Malaysia built).
http://www.dv247.com/guitars/ibanez-rg470ah-electric-guitar-natural--70854
I paid £350 for it, reduced from £450 as it was an ex-display model, however, I don't know how long its been hanging in the shop. I haven't played for 20 years, but I have read up on youtube about what to look for.
The neck seems pretty straight, the Locking trem bridge is level. However, Im getting buzzing all the way up the frets on the Low E string and half way up the Low A string. I do know this could be the locking nut too low, but with it being a new guitar
The guy pretty much gave me the guitar off the rack in a guitar shaped box, but now I realise its not set up. He did give me an alan key for the locking nuts.
I cant see any fret wear, but havent changed the strings because the D, G, B and E ok even without an amp and I have no experience of Floyd rose style locking trems.. although they are greyed slightly.
Any advice
Colin
EDIT
After sitting listening with a very critical ear.. It seems to be all the strings now at varying points on the fretboard, not just the lower E and A.
Any thoughts at all...
Ps.. Also, I did notice the £380 price on dv247 site, however, being in-experienced... I had hoped the guitar I have now had been set up. Is it worth me returning it, or will it be a simple set up.
