Squires are a really good Fender product. To adjust the string height, take the small allen wrench that came with your guitar ( if you've lost it go the guitar store and get one they should give you one cause they have lots of em) Adjust the string saddels down until the string buzzes. Then raise the saddle until it stops buzzing. Do this with every string. Don't be afraid to work on your guitar. Unless you are very heavy handed or careless. their isn't a lot you can do that will permanatly wreck it. It's not fun to play a guitar that isnt set up properly. Buy a book that shows you how to make the adjustments and your $200 Squire will play as nice as the $1500 SRV strat.
