My locking nut is making the lower E string to buzz, obviously when I play it without fretting.
I live in Brazil, and I could not find a 7 string locking nut in the guitar shops that I know.
So, is there a way to fix it? I have put a piece of paper, and it helped a little bit, but the buzz is still there.
Thanks!
 
From what I understand you have a sevenstring. I find it very unusuall for the v to be the problem for buzzing. What gauge of string you use for the low B string? If it is an unusually thick one, it could be the problem. As xjbebop said, find a thin metal shim just under the bass side of the Floyd nut. A lot of Floyd equipped guitars have them from the factory. But find a metal one, not plastic or paper. You do not want to deaden the sound.
 
It is not. I do have a PRS, but I'm talking about other guitar. Is this against the forum rules? I'm sorry if it is...
