Thanks for all the help, many of you were dead on. I had my first guitar lesson yesterday at a local music shop, Evans Music in Houston, Texas. They have a repair shop there and they were able to look at my guitar and determine that the buzz is just the nature of the beast with a single coil Fender...especially the cheap Squire guitars with low end pickups
So, since I don't like the buzz and I really only bought the guitar because it was signed by John Mellencamp, I think I will shop for something better. |

Hi there! I see you've already got your answer but don't give up on the guitar. Have a look at this article:
http://www.guitarnuts.com/wiring/shielding/tele.php I bought a nice Mexican Classic 60s Tele last year and although it plays and sounds really well it did have a lot of noise that went away to a large extent when I touched the strings, controls, tuners etc. I followed the advice in this article and shielded the pickup cavities, the control cavity and lined the underside of the pickguard. I didn't disconnect and reconnect any wires in order to maintain continuity through the wire channels as the article suggested, but connected every section with a small strip of the insulating sheeting instead. The difference was night and day - MUCH less interference noise. Although such a modification takes a bit of time it doesn't cost much in terms of money and will make a big difference to the sound. One piece of advice though - be careful when using the copper shielding sheet, especially when smoothing it down when it's in place, those darn edges are sharp...

I love having a buzz.
