This is an old classical guitar, it might be up to seventy years old. It buzzes with every note but it's the loudest on the G string. Please help.

Seems like someone filed down the nut for lower action but might have gone too deep or made the channel too wide. If it sounds like you're playing a sitar it's probably the latter.

Thanks, its definitely not as bad as a sitar lol it's just a buzzing present while playing. I'll take it to a luthier eventually though.

That's simple to check. Does it buzz when you play first fret? If yes, it's probably not the nut.
