Man I hope not.

if the G is buzzing, the quality of the string is not at fault. Many things can make a string buzz, including low action, poor fingering (which I doubt since it's only one string), etc. When you take it in, tell the repair guy what's wrong and ask if he knows how to fix it. If he says "yes" ask him to show you.
