If it doesnt buzz any higher than 5th, than it means that it's probably your 6th fret that is high. You COULD take a file to this fret to try and solve the issue, but you would most likely mess up the crown (if your not using a specially designed crowning file), or file too low (and make the 6th fret position buzz horribly).

The best thing to do would be to adjust your neck bow a bit (give it a bit more bow)

You can do this with all but the cheesiest guitars, set neck or bolt on. You have to tighten the truss rod. Do a google for it. If you are not comfortable doing this, take it to a pro. They will make your guitar sound fantastic.

Hehe, no problems with that! Not all of us are comfortable doing things we've never done before on our 'babies'.
