This is the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster. Video 1 was pre-setup. This one shows the setup, including how to intonate this guitar (and any other guitar).
This is what this Jazzmaster's setup entailed:
- Removed neck and installed 0.5 degree StewMac shim
- Removed pickguard to check shielding. Didn’t do anything with it since shielding is fine.
- Removed all the plastic on the pickguard and hardware which was actually quite difficult. (You need to remove hardware to cleanly remove the plastic.)
- Cleaned up glue on fretboard with a razor blade. (Watch video 1 to see how bad the fretboard looked when it arrived)
- Polished frets to a mirror shine in 9 grits of micro mesh from 1,500 to 12,000. Buttery smooth now.
- Cleaned and oiled the fretboard with D'addario lemon oil (not sponsored)
- Strung it up with D'addario 10s balanced tension strings (again, not sponsored)
- Adjusted truss rod due to slight bowing, likely due to the increased tension from the strings
- Raised bridge to set string height (below 2mm at 12th fret)
- Raised pickups (to the Puisheen specs, which ended up sounding great to me)
- Intonation (this video includes a pretty detailed description about how to intonate your guitar)
Whew! I had fun!
