on the neck on the high e the 2nd fret and the 3rd fret both have the g sound and if you press the 2nd fret down real hard you get a deadened not buzz
truss rod adjustment?
its an ovation if the matters
thats the only problem

Both the 2nd and 3rd fret produce a G? Just off the cuff that sounds like an issue with string length (the string length being shorter or longer than it should producing the wrong wavelength of sound). That could be due to the truss rod needing adjusting or neck warping...or several other things. You don't have any problems with the other strings though? If you have a chromatic tuner check your open strings against the 12th fret. That can be a giveaway of neck issues if the string falls out of tune as you play up the fretboad. If it only effects the high E string, did you do something to the bridge recently? Might be something as simple as a kink or obstruction with the E string on the bridge or tuning peg. Other than that I don't know without actually being able to tinker with it. Any other ideas, anyone?

Check to see if your third fret has lifted slightly on the treble side. If it hasn't, a slight (slight) truss-rod loosening, like a 1/8 cc-wise turn might help it. Also, taking a really fine, small file (possibly even a fingernail emery-board) and drawing that end of the fret toward the edge of the neck to lower it slightly might help. Sometimes a raised-fret can be tapped back into place but they don't stay there long (if at all). You can always shim the saddle slightly higher with a thin piece of brass or even a thin strip cut from a tin-can placed under the saddle (be careful, it's really sharp) to raise the saddle .005" to .010" or so.
