High E string buzz

[kpinks]

I notice my EVH Art Series guitar buzzes on the open high E string. Does this mean there is not enough relief in the neck? Or what could be the cause of this?
Thanks

Could be anything from nut/saddle height issue to a raised fret.
First thing to do is get a straight edge and verify the neck is straight and the frets are level.
Then check the nut and see if it's sitting low. If the neck is straight and the frets are level, the E string will vibrate against the first fret if the nut is too low.
The opposite is true if the saddle on the trem is low. In either case, a shim should fix that.

What Rick said. If nothing has been moved i would say it's a neck adjustment issue. Give the truss rod a tweek and it should be good.
