Low E buzz. on Gibson Style electric guitar (LP clone)
I have a problem with the low E Buzzing when fretted anywhere from Fret 1 to fret 14.  
 
When I press the string down on Fret 1 and Fret 14, there is a slight bow to the neck. (guess aboiut 0.020" around 7 fret.  
 
The A string only slightly buzzes but the E is real bad. None of the other strings buzz. 10-46 strings.  
 
To get rid of the buzz, should I raise the bridge (raise action on Bass side) or have the truss rod adjusted.  
 
Thanks for any suggestions.  
 
Also, any sites have any info on how to properly set up a guitar? Properly adjust action, How to tell if the truss rod is properly set etc.  
 
Have 3 guitars and at $50 bucks a tune up, I was wondering if some of this I could learn to do some of this myself.  
 
Thanks again
