Minimal buzz ok lang basta wag all throughout the fretboard.

if it's not heard when amplified ok lang yun pero much better if la nga buzz when not amplified kasi mas may sustain.

Actually, buzzing is more likely with lighter gauge strings kasi mas malaki yung vibration area nila kesa sa medium or heavy gauge strings (mas taut kasi ang mas makapal na strings).

You can minimize this all the more by gently raising the action at the bridge (or nut, yun nga lang luthier na gagawa nun), using heavier gauge strings, or just pick and strum gently.

dahil ba yun sa type of strings? sa action/ bridge setup? or sa pagkalagay ng strings? LP kasi yun eh.

applies to all types of guitars. :D . Sometimes buzzing also occurs because of a too-straight or backbowed neck. Pero hindi siguro applicable yan sa specific na Les Paul na meron ka. Me plastic pa nga ata ang truss rod cover nyan :D wink wink.

1st fret ng 3rd string? this might be symptomatic of a worn-down nut slot or an improperly cut nut. no amount of backbow can produce buzzing localized at the 1st fret.

normal ang buzz sa electrics. as long as it's just a bit of buzz here and there, and not dead spots, ok lang yan. but bear in mind that fret buzz does suck some of the tone away from your strings.

Baka new string buzz lang.  Mas malutong talaga buzz kapag bago yung strings.
