i had a similar problem with a brand new les paul standard.i use 11-52 strings,wraparound,stopbar at lowest position,medium-high action,allmost straight neck with very small amount of relief, and had buzz at 5-7th fret at low E and A and detune at theese strings.the problem was a bad factory nut that couldnt handle this kind of set-up.when i put an after market nut (i tested graphtech and tusq.i kept tusq and the other i have it spare) the problem dissapeared.
check the nut.in my opinion its,maybe,the most important factor for a well done set-up or lets say for the "geometry of the guitar".

Hmmm... interesting... i know nut can cause problems but i thought thats more back buzz and just open string buzz?

Thanks for all the replies by the way guys!

Re: Question about Joe's Les Pauls

Which ever manufacture you get I strongly suggest you try Pure Nickle. But that like strings, brands of manufacture are all depend on how they feel in your hands. What I did to be certain I made the right choice for me a few years ago I purchased sets from all manufactures mentioned here and others. That is how I found Curt Mangan 11-52 pure nickels sound and feel far superior then all others. But as I said everyone is different. Good luck I am sure you will find the ones that work for you.

Re: Question about Joe's Les Pauls

I always choose strings based on how they feel, against my wallet.

And D'Addario usually feel pretty good wink

I never go dirt cheap though, D'Addario use the cheapest method possible for packaging which probably explains it.

Les Paul Geek, nut, obsessed etc. etc.
