why is there a buzzing sound coming from my headstock?

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.

Seems like someone filed down the nut for lower action but might have gone too deep or made the channel too wide. If it sounds like you're playing a sitar it's probably the latter.
- Thanks, its definitely not as bad as a sitar lol it's just a buzzing present while playing. I'll take it to a luthier eventually though.
  
  That's simple to check. Does it buzz when you play first fret? If yes, it's probably not the nut.
