This is an old classical guitar, it might be up to seventy years old. It buzzes with every note but it's the loudest on the G string. Please help.

If you have a capo, you could test it on the first fret (or second, or third, etc.) and see if your problem stops. I had a guitar with a worn nut that put a couple strings just low enough to always buzz against the first fret.
