Well thanks to a clumsy little sister, my guitar fell from it's stand unto the hardwood floor. At the time I didn't think anything was wrong with it..... I was horribly mistaken. 2 days later I go to play over the hills and far away, and what's this? A string half eaten away at the 3rd fret (metal separater) bar. I of course remove the string as it is useless for my uses (loosen and take out). I then notice that certain strings on the 3rd and 4th fret bars left indentations from the earlier mishap, and create a very nasty buzzing sound when barred on the coresponding fret, and even a whole string in some case (no matter where fretted). I have no idea to fix this other than to fill the bars in with something. If someone has any idea on how to aid me in repairing and or has had a similair experience, I would really appreciate it.

If your saying the strings have left dents in the frets from the fall, that is fixable. If not to0 bad, the frets can be dressed. At worst they may have to be recrowned or replaced. Take it to a tech.

Over the hills and far away?

That's where some people say I should go and play .......

First of all, most frets below the 5th have much more wear on them than frets above the 5th. If the frets dented due to impact, the dent should be rather crisp in the sense that if you bend a string to the dent, the string wants to fall and stay in the dent. If the fret is just worn it won't fall and stay; it'll just slide.

You also say you removed a string. Did you replace it? If not, the relieft adjustment in your trussrod is overwhelming the remaining 5 strings and that will certainly cause them to buzz.

btw, what kind of guitar is this?

It's just a craupy begginer silvertone, and they are tending to fall into the dents and buzz. An no they buzzed before removing the string. I just thought the string was worn away by aging (it was robbed of it's outer layers by the fret dent cutting at it). So I removed it only to find that it was not merely the string but 4 sepearte dents. Tech support of zzsounds told me it needs to be taken to a guitar shop. Guitar center doesn't do repairs right?

well, at some point you need to consider the value of the repair needed. I wish you could post some pics.
