that didnt help much, it's not an annoying buzz but it's there
maybe someone can spot what it is by listening to a sample?
I've uploaded a sample to soundcloud
https://soundcloud.com/rt321/a-string
the 1st 4 notes are played close to the fret - no buzzing
the next 4 notes are played away from the fret you can hear a small rutteling sound after I play the note.
also checked the tuning pegs like someone said it looks solid.
Thanks

On the fret crown buzz like I posted above in a prior comment. I brought this up a few years back in my thread "Fret Crown Shape Buzz". Read my thread:

Thanks

after reading your thread I checked the fret leveling with a fret rocker

and noticed some frets up the neck close to the sound hole are higher then others

that might explain why I hear the buzz coming from that area

I know a guitar repair guy where I live I'll take it to him

No. That's not it.

I know its not the same as what your thread was about

I checked the frets the best I could they look good to me except 2-3 of them

that are higher so I'm thinking the string might be touching them when played.

I plan to take it for a setup anyway so I'll ask the guy to fix this for me

Quoting your original post:

"when I play a string far left from the fret or even in the middle of the fret
I get a buzz coming from the bridge. If I play close to the fret (closer to the sound hole direction) I get no buzz."

If that is correct then it's on the fret buzz. That said you just need to fret closer to the fret whenever possible.

but the wired thing is that its only happens with the A string

every other string is ok even when playing far from the fret

I do try to play as close to the fret as I can but I miss a lot of times

today after playing with the new strings for 2 days there is some improvment, not sure why

still waiting for hard tension ones to arrive

Think of the contact point of the string on the fret. On wound strings the winding specs (that varies with string gauge and string brand) have an effect. The smoothness (slickness) of the fret crown also has an effect. See, like what I did, what a short piece of scotch tape on the fret does to the buzz

Thanks
I'll try that

> if I play close to the fret (closer to the sound hole direction) I get no buzz.

My recommendation would be to do that, then. My fretting fingers are usually quite near the fret, even to the point of appearing to be on the fret, in some cases. It would never be equidistant from both frets unless there were no other option.
