so sam ash closed all their stores
I didn't see this coming, but it happened.
Sam Ash is a musical instrument retailer that had 42 stores in the USA across 16 states, 9 of which were in Florida. I did shop at the Tampa store several times. In fact, that's where I first saw the then-new Squier Vintage Modified series back in the early 2010s. They had all the models, and it's where I got to play my first Squier Jazzmaster. It was amazing.
So when did this happen?
What I will describe to you in a moment actually works for almost any bolt-on neck, but it's the Fender and Squier guitars where people notice this the most.
Misaligned guitar neck defined: This is when the high-E string or low-E string is too close to the edge of the neck, causing it to buzz out like crazy and/or "jump" off the fretboard during guitar play.

Some news about my current guitar "stable" and what I plan on doing in the future.
I'll first list off what I have and why I've not gone ahead and bought another guitar recently.
What I have: Two 1989 Squier II Stratocasters, Squier Affinity Stratocaster, Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster, 1993 Fender American Stratocaster (currently in pieces, nonfunctional).
What I've been wanting to do for my next guitar is get something slightly more upscale. However, there are a few problems I keep encountering.
