If the 12th fret harmonic rings 3 cents sharp you have a defect in the string (but it wouldn't hurt to confirm with another tuning device).
.01" clearance off the 1st fret is too high when fretting the 3rd (don't press hard--that can throw it off). .006" is still high. Perfect is zero, but nothing lower, and in practice zero can give you some of The Dreaded Back Buzz playing double stops around frets 7 & 8, but that is another problem altogether. For now, it sounds to me as if your nut is slotted too high, and most of your problem can be fixed by a good nut adjustment.

well I would not Have thought it possible but I ordered one of those Thalia capos
after reading about it here. It comes with a fret board pad kit to accommodate a variety of radius differences. I ended up using the classical or flat insert as the fret board on this guitar does not seem to have a radius ..and it was the only Teflon one that did not create a buzz. Well it seems to have cured this issue completely..mind you i haven't tried it with a tuner (not enough time before work) But to my ears (which are pretty good) It sounds cured.. I have tried all sort of capos on this guitar with no results like this.. i am thinking most capos 1. come with a radius and with rubber pads not allowing the strings to move and 2. the combo of the teflon and flat curve seemed to have cured this problem.. as the Brits say i am completely Gobsmacked...   Thank you all for your expert advise..this is a great forum. Fred
