Tapered maple shims used to change the angle of a bolt-on neck.
To change the angle of a bolt-on neck, players and repair shops have used shims for years. We’ve seen everything from matchbook covers to guitar picks stuck in neck joints.
Those kinds of shims create an unwanted gap under the heel of the neck: a dead air space where humidity condenses to swell the wood.
Full contact and precisely tapered:we have 3 different degrees for changing the pitch of any bolt-on neck.
- 0.25-degree shimoffers the most versatility. Stacking them will let you really dial in the neck angle you’re after.
- 0.5-degree shimis the one you’ll reach for most often. It works great on Fender and many other solidbodies.
- 1-degree shimis great for guitars with a Tune-o-matic bridge or Floyd Rose.
