Have you plucked the strings individually to see if you have actually have
a buzz in the strings?  Have you touched and pressed with mild force on
different areas of the bridge and soundboard to see if you could make a
difference in the way the buzz sound?  Might just be a sympathetic
vibration.

The different lengths of windings shouldn't be a factor unless the windings
themselves are loose on the inner core.
