Replacement Guitar Body-Sunburst

Every guitar player is different and so are his/her hands. It is not a “one size fits all” world. Because of this there is no perfect guitar neck shape for everyone. Your neck profile should make it easy for you to comfortably reach all the frets. Bottom line: Neck profile and neck width can be important; so, pay attention to what feels right for you so WE can get it right for you because ONLY YOU know what feels right for you. At Haywire Custom Shop our job is to have the right guitar matched up with the right hands. We’re, “musicians working for musicians”. We are experts in the area of Custom Guitar setup, installation, repair, neck fretting, neck refinishing, neck fitting, alignment, and action adjustment and neck design. Assemblers NOTE when substituting your own necks: Be ready to make any adjustments necessary to make your project work with any necks and any necessary adjustments to make your neck and body fit together well. It takes skill it’s not co-incidence. If you know what you’re doing this is easy. If you don’t-then leave this page. Remember to place your neck in the body you intend to use and drill holes in the neck so they will line up with this body. It may require you to do some work in the form of plugging some neck holes. Some of you know that and we know that. The rest of you roll up your sleeves and don’t complain. Most craftsmen realize- every neck may not fit every guitar body as well as every guitar body will not suit every neck. Sometimes holes will line up and sometimes they won’t-so again, make sure you drill your OWN holes in your neck and plug any existing ones. Clamp and align prior to drilling neck holes. If you need to plug some holes then-by all means-do it. We cannot be responsible for careless installation so-be sure you’re competent before you buy anything requiring skills to assemble. If you’re going To “Do it yourself” then do it. We are aware that there are some differences between bodies and necks. They are not all identical. A small space in the neck pocket however will not affect the play-ability, setup, neck installation or action adjustments. Fender often times uses shims in the pockets because of that reason. There should be some space to move the neck right or left when adding a neck so as to get the margins even on the right and left sides of the fret board. There is always craftsmanship involved with building and modifying guitars. Be ready to make any adjustments necessary to make your project work with any necks and make the necessary adjustments. If you feel that you don’t have the skill in working with wood or guitar mods-please don’t feel bad, instead-send us your project parts, we can do it, and we’ll finish it for you. Necks: may require fret leveling and polish, and may need to be fine-tuned to fit your instrument. This is normal and not a defect. All necks should be carefully inspected prior to installation and/or modification. All wood is unique with individual growth patterns. However, you can also write or call us prior to your purchase and ask any questions you’d like. Send us your neck with your favorite strings and we’ll mount the neck on it for you for just $89.Our bodies and necks are Luthier (trained pro instrument builder) parts only and not meant for, parts changers, DIY’s, beginning, intermediate and hobbyist builders. You can’t do it. Don’t try and modify or assemble these guitar parts yourself. Let a Pro handle it. Please do not purchase if you’re not a Pro luthier in business building instruments. Pro luthier note: only by these with the intention of finishing the project. May only be purchased by a pro builder or luthier. Purchase and payment for this body indicates that you have read and understand this and you’re a Pro. It also means there is no return. Businesses only. Thanks for your understanding. Sometimes we use stock photos however the grain pattern is the only difference in our bodies and necks. White bodies as well all basically look the same so, unless there is damage to a specific part of it, we’ll use the stock photos.
