Default Fret Buzz only in one spot

I’ve had this really irritating issue crop up recently, happens only after I change strings. I am getting fret buzz only when fretting 3 on the low E string and it’s coming from the 2nd fret. For some reason it’s only when using pick rather than thumb (even when I strike the string hard with the thumb). If I fret both 2 and 3 at the same time it completely stops, although obviously that isn’t a solution.

Last time I gave a bit of relief in the truss rod and that seemed to sort it but I’m wary of giving more relief. I think the action is already quite high looking at the photos, what would you say?

What might be causing this? I tried tightening the truss rod just because I thought it was worth a shot and was convinced I could see a bit of forward bow but string buzz cropped up on G B and high E around frets 3 - 7 when using capo as had previously happened before I loosened the truss rod.





Is it even possible I got a three pack with defective strings?
