The Haywire Custom Shop – Recessed Heel Crest Option


Yes, we thought about it, created it, implemented it and have been doing it for years!
In 1981, Haywire Custom Shop discovered that it was much more comfortable to play high on the neck with this feature. We simply move the Crest of the heel down the fret board approximately 7/8″ more into the guitar body. You need the Haywire Recessed Heel Crest option when you’re playing at the higher end of the neck past the 12th fret and the bulky heel crest wood blocks your hand. It’s especially critical for those players that play more notes high on the neck! Explore more of your guitar. When your fingers can reach more strings and frets, new ideas will open up for you-a Haywire innovation since 1982……………….
Improved hand access
Faster playing and more room on the neck
Easier and smoother note bending

Cleaner, clearer notes
More responsive hand-tapping
