40th anniversary Squier jazzmaster. I recently switched out the neck with a player II neck which has an extra fret (but that shouldn’t matter right?) and now the saddles are almost maxed out to get proper intonation. Bridge is centered and straight up. Seems weird. Might have to take out the spring on the low E to get it right on. Anyone have an idea?

Edit: this has been solved. Here’s my reply to someone who said to shim neck to raise bridge.
Yeah I think this is the issue. Not sure why I didn’t put this together. The neck doesn’t NEED to be shimmed because it’s set up perfect as it is besides the saddles being a bit far back BUT when I switched necks I noticed the new one sits lower in the pocket so I had to do a full adjustment of the bridge height (and pickups) so yeah the bridge is now lower which is making the string just a bit shorter. SOLVED. thanks to everyone who chimed in.

Can’t find any Squiers with black block inlays. Says it’s a 40th anniversary. There’s a CME exclusive but has binding.

Just had the battery refurbished and now it’s running mostly in the green, even with lights on, heat on high, and stereo going. After I got home I sat in the driveway everything running and it took 3 or 4 minutes to drop into blue. Is this normal? Gas engine doesn’t kick in…

Is this how they act when new? Or should I be concerned? 144,000 miles.
