Squier Strat Issues.

...The shim looks like it may work, I was hoping to avoid doing this as it requires me to remove the neck of my guitar and it may never play the same.

Not to be flippant, but with an inexpensive Squier Affinity series guitar, the response of "So what?" comes to mind. Doesn't sound like it's really playable as is....

So true, I think I will be making a trip to the BauMarkt (Gemany's answer to Home Depot) tomorrow. Should I just buy some wood shims like one would use for framing a house and sand them or what? Any suggestions.

I've never undertaken this myself, so you would be better off doing some internet research on the shimming technique. Those links I posted above may have some good leads. As I understand it, the best approach is to use a wedge-shaped shim to support the neck more evenly and insure more thorough contact between neck & body.
