i got a gibson 1960 from a guy who had it made in 2005 in the gibson custom shop

The G string to the high e from the 12th fret on buzz, the string touches the higher frets
The guy who sent it to me had his guitar techs clean it up and i am assuming they didnt adjust the bridge correctly. It looks like it is raised different on one side than on the other

It seems that the bridge is lifted higher on one side than on the other, does this sound familiar to anyone?

I'm really diso to play my guitar

if you don't know what your doing I would suggest taking to luthier, but it really isn't that hard to change the action or level the frets if need be.. the bridge should be higher on the lower strings ( bigger ones and lower on the others, smaller ones)
