Fret buzzzzzzzzz

I have a 4003s and I have just started getting some fret buzz from my E string.
It is worst when I fret at 8th fret and slightly better when I fret at 6th fret.
That's pretty much the only place it happens - I'm guessing my 7th fret is too high? How do I fix this?
Cheers
Mark

Try loosening the "E" side truss rod nut about an 1/8th of a turn.

Thanks, was hoping I wouldn't have to file the fret down.
If I'm messing with the truss rods it would pay to go through the whole setup. Thanks for the link.
