I just restrung my guitar about a week ago, and noticed that the low E string had a wierd buzzing noise everytime I played it. It doesnt happen on any of the other strings, only on that one. Even after a week it's still buzzing, and it hits against the frets giving that clangy buzz. I'm not sure if I should just replace that string or do something with it, please help!

On my guitar I do not have the best bridge and from time to time the adjustment screws loosen so when I remove the strings it changes the action and inotation just a bit and I get the buzz you are speaking of.

Did you put on different strings?
Did the action and/or inotation change? Either on purpose or perhaps you bumped the bridge.

There are other reasons but those are the first I would check out.

You most likely need to raise the bridge or adjust the truss rod. If you are unsure/uneasy, just take it to a local shop.
