Have you got any experience at all with setting up guitars?

Make sure the tuners gears aren't slipping and adjust the truss rod so that the neck is straight. Ensure that the strings sit in the nut nicely. Once that's done I would then intonate the guitar properly....If none of this means anything to you then maybe take it to a good local luthier/guitar tech. Shouldn't be too expensive-any guitar will benefit from a pro set up (they may shim the frets if needed, which will make it nicer to play/avoid certain string buzz).
