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.

No doubt- there's an excellent book: the guitar handbook; definitely worth the 20 bucks. It runs the gamut from theory to history, technical stuff- every guitar player should probably have this thing- amazon has it, barnes and noble, borders, they all sell it. Definitely worth the time.
