Great video, I shimmed and polished the neck and raised the bridge on my squire jazzmaster. I also raised my pick ups to where I liked it. It not only sounds great but also the fret action is way better.

Great post. Thanks! (I put a StewMac neck shim in my Jazzmaster and got my action shredder low with no buzzing or fretting out. It's amazing!) 😃

Very good. It's worted to file the pivot plate. I did it with my squier 40th anniversary jazzmaster. All tuning issues went away and the whole system became death silent. It's not worse them the AVRI which is installed in my usa jazz

Hi, I got my first JM recently and followed the instructions of this vid, so far everything was fine but yesterday while recording my high e string started playing same notes on different frets. Figured out it had something to do with the saddle / neck relief and now i regret adjusting the neck relief with the key that i got with the guitar. I didnt know how to fix it so i tried by tightening the screws on saddle but accidentally popped my high E string. So i thought that its not really a problem and i can replace my high E string later, as I didnt need it to finish the recording of the song. However during recording the same thing happened to B string. The saddle is slightly tilted and kinda more sinked in on the side thats closer to the circular tone and volume knobs. I found on reddit that I could lif the saddle up with my hands and put some duck tape on it so it doesnt sink in but im not sure wether to do that or not as I believe there is some tension thats making it sink into the bridge and the duck tape might help for a while but make something worse in the long run. I tried to lift the saddle up with hands and it seems like it just need a bit of leveling or like to put it in in a certain angle which I did, and it kinda worked and my B string doesnt play same notes on the frets anymore. However if I play the guitar with tremolo bar or even without it it slightly sinks in agan and tilts to the left again and the same thing repeats. Does this have something to do with the neck relief? If so, Is this fixable? I spent all my saved money for the JM, so I really hope this is fixable.. do you think so? Or do you think i overtightened the nut in the neck and its beyond home repair? I dont know anything about the guitar hardware diy fixes or anything do you think I need to find some guitar repair shop? Sorry for too many questions, but could you please help? I tried many forums but without any solutions... thanks in advance

thanks for this, was the capo also on for the action measurement on the 17th fret?

You should measure the neck relief rather in the playing position

It is a blue/white sheel pickguard or it is black/white ?

Sounds like its too small.but honestly,it uses probably the smallest allen wrech possible. You coukd use a small flat head. Or...you could just loosen ur strings an take the bridge off and move them with your fingers to desired height
