& rotflmaobut hey, it worked 
This is on the Reverend Sensei that I bought last year. The low E, A and B strings always had a bit of 1st fret buzz on them when played in the open positions that raising the bridge wouldn't fix. It was livable, indeed I've had the guitar for over a year now and have done several string changes on it.
Tonight I did another string change, but did my home fix on it this time to see if it made a difference. It worked!!!
The low E string also had just a bit of fret buzz up and down the neck that raising the bridge would fix, but I like my string action pretty low. This fixed that, as well. So I know the nut slot was cut just a bit low.
Background on why I decided to try this was, the first electric guitar I ever owned, an early-70s Gibson SG, had an odd buzz on the high E string that I never could quite pin down. It wasn't a low-cut nut slot that time, and it happened playing any fret on the high E string, no idea why. I narrowed it down to some kind of vibration coming from the nut, and fixed it by putting a tiny piece of paper, like the above pic, underneath the string on each string change.
Anyhow, sitting in front of the TV now playing the Reverend, and no 1st fret string buzz on the open strings. Works like a charm. Someday I'll take the guitar in and have a new nut put on it
