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.

      Where the posts around which you wrap the strings sit. I dunno if it has a particular name, but in woodworking, those two oblong “windows” on either side of the headstock would be cutouts.

      It looks like your windings on the top and bottom strings might be making contact with the sides of those cutouts, and that could be causing some unwanted vibration.

      Ideally, all of your strings would have nice coils that wind across the post (towards the middle, in this case), wrapping in tight coils that touch. They should also wind a certain number of times, but I dunno what the recommended number of windings is for a classical guitar. Typical guitars are 2-3 for the heavier strings and 3-5 for the lighter strings. Look up some guides on how to correctly string a classical guitar.
