I bought a backpacker a few months ago, and the strings were too high off the fretboard for my small hands. I took it back to the store where I bought it, and a guy lowered it for $10 and had it done in three days.

Your guitar has a one-year warranty, so you can probably take it back and get the problem fixed for nothing. Buzzes, after all, are not a matter of personal preference, they are a flaw.
