OK. Again with the neck..
After playing a '86 Japan Squier, with low action, no string buzz and excellent sound I decided to fix the damn MIM neck once and for all.
First of all, the standard fender settings don't work at all. String buzz and shitty playability occurs. The only way to make it playable is by making the saddles high (I don't think I could set them higher..) and making the neck more bowed than Fender suggests. (and it's still on 9-42)
The neck feels tilted the headstock way up.
As you can see the action is kinda high, but it doesn't work if not :) .
Will a neck shim improve the setup? (Nothing worked so far)
I want to string it with regular 10-46 strings and I'm worried it won't work (and the very high action is killing me.)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
(this is the first guitar I'm working on my own)
