Maybe first 5 frets are disordered somehow (scale wise)
or you need smaller frets, jumbo frets easily go out of tune if you even little bit harder. Did you buy it new,when did you notice this problem btw? -------------------- Youtube

Try with some other shops/luthiers,
if not then go for new neck, I see no other option... -------------------- Youtube

Sometimes guitars don't come from the factory as they are supposed to be. SOmetimes even luthiers don't make them perfect. How one guitar sounds depends also on the players - if he bangs it hard you will get buzzing in no time. If you play gently all the time, you can get a lower action and will experience less string buzz.
MOst of the time some buzzing is OK, but if you loose sustain, specially on 12th fret and above, then adjusting the truss rod, string height and intonation is needed. Often it is best to take the guitar to luthier to do the job, but IMO people often think that luthier is some kind of magician that will make the guitar play wonderously straight away. If the guitar has a poor frat job it will NOT play good, no matter what the guy do. Doing a new fret job is the only solution, and even then the outcome is not certain, because of the neck curvature, refreting, etc.. THe ideal solution is to make the neck straight, and frets to go from highest (on open) to lowest height (on 22-24 fret). Then will create a more natural neck relief, and not many luthiers know how to do it, so often they just don't. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
