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.
 
Yep...you got it Pes :AOK:

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.
