CIJ Candy Apple Jag! PICS!!

[cobascis]

yes the shims were there for a reason. They go in the pocket at the back , remove the neck , again and slip em in.  Not trying to be a dick but perhaps your in over your head and should take the guitar to a shop for a set up? I know jags can be a bear at first till ya get used to em good luck

Thanks, I'm going to work on it til' I get it right, and if I don't, then I get a set up .

Regardless, I don't have ANY dough.

I hear ya , I spent mine on a CAR Jag too 

If you google guitar shims you should get some info , good luck

Thanks man, I just made some outta paper, and it works fine. If I push it it creaks to one side, but I won't be doing that in normal circumstances. I'm working on the action, and saving for a mustang bridge ($0 so far ).

Here are some pics, there are cracks on either side of the neck pocket, but I doubt they go to the wood. Why is it creaking?









Thanks

Did you get the neck on tight?

[cobascis]

Yes, screws are tight
I need to have a bigger shim.

[Markocaster]

Man just be carefull,
cracks probably not a big deal , does it look cracked inside the pocket?
if the shims worked before then they should still work , how are they in there??

There's a 60 day warranty on it from the store, I'm going to take it in. What should I tell them to do?

Well, I feel it's pretty evident that it suffered a traumatic fall. Does it actually "creak", as in make a noise? Cuz if that's the case, return it, man.

It didn't creak when I got it. Also, I just sold my only guitar for it, and I'm keen on keeping it.

put it back together as well as you can, take it back and inquire about the creaking, if they are a reputable shop they should at least take a look at it and see if they can fix it (dont tell em you took it to bits) or offer a refund. If you have to get your $ back dont worry there are others out there. I just got a CIJ for $500 in fantastic shape, keep looking. or at least get them to do a decent set up if its not cracked. Mark
