    Default raising the saddles on the bridge

    on my squire I'm not sure if their called saddles or string trees etc. the e string always hits the neck and buzzes. I now know the problem which the place where you load your string through (saddle or string tree?) it's lower than all the others. is there a way to raise it up?

    PS. whats the difference between saddles and string trees

    You'll need a very small hex wrench to fit the two tiny screws on that bridge saddle (that's what they are called). Sounds like you just need to screw those two screws in a turn or so to raise the saddle to get rid of the buzz.

    You might need a trussrod tweak.
    Check your neck or have someone else check it.
    Squire's are good axes for the $$ but they almost always require a setup.
    Heck so do $1000 Fenders for that matter. Anyway you get where im coming from.
