I have a Schecter Devil Deluxe guitar with a string through body
tone-0-matic bridge, and the high string buzzes the entire length of the
string and in open position. I have tried everything I can think of to fix
it and am at a loss. Anyone that can HELP?

Not sure if you tried it however I would raise the bridge on the high E
side until it stops buzzing.
If you already did that then maybe a truss rod adjustment is in order.
Here is some info on truss rods...Im not sure how accurate it is however
this could be the problem.

There are a few golden rules to obey when adjusting a truss rod. First,
only use the rod to keep your neck as straight as it needs to be…do not
use it to adjust your action! Second, only use the proper adjustment tool.
If you do not know what it is, check with the manufacturer or visit a good
repairman. Finally, do not force anything; an eighth of a turn can make a
drastic change. The first step is to know when or in what way the neck
needs to be adjusted. Start by sitting with the guitar in the playing
position. Make sure it is in tune, and capo at the first fret. If you do
not own a capo, you can simply fret the strings, but this may make things a
little more difficult. Next, fret the bass string at the 14th fret. You are
using the string as a straight edge to read the curve (referred to as
relief) of the neck. Check the height of the string over the 6th fret.
Gently taping the string to the fret makes the size of this gap clearer.
The bigger this gap the more relief in the neck. It's a good idea to check
the center strings and treble strings as well to give you an idea of the
neck overall. It is possible to have a neck that is straighter on one side
than the other. If there is no gap at the 6th fret, you are either dead
straight or back bowed away from the pull of the strings. A buzzing of the
strings open and within the first two frets is a definite indication of
back bow.
