There should be no roadblocks to the success of a guitar player and a guitar neck is no exception. Players contact the Haywire Custom Shop for guitar repair or have a guitar set up. They need help but don’t want any harm to come to a prized instrument. It’s similar to the feeling that a surgeon has when faced with a decision to operate on his/her own child. Sure, it’s hard to let go of your guitar-even for some needed repairs, updating and modifications.
We can add wide guitar necks to any guitar. However if you have large hands we have some special necks just for you! You have a choice at Haywire Custom Shop of: 1-7/8″, 2″ or 2-1/8″ widths with 22 frets.
Our wide necks are for BIG guys. You know who you are and so do we. Let us help you!
If your fingers are big, small neck guitars leave much to be desired with no room for movement. If you’re a big guy with a standard guitar neck, it’s not going to feel right. The standard width guitar neck will be too small for you. If you have a size 15 foot you need a size 15 shoe. Let us get you the right neck for your hand size. We are musicians working for musicians-let us work for you and get you the right equipment to be your best!
Start with the right equipment. Please don’t let your guitar neck be a roadblock to your success. Bigger guys, with bigger fingers, need bigger necks.
Considered Guitar Neck Shaving as an alternative to replacement guitar necks?
The Alternative to Buying and Adding a Neck is to Have Your Guitar Neck Shaved.
We’ll Shave and Sand Down Your Guitar neck to a More Comfortable Profile So You Have a Better Feel.
Both Acoustic and Electric Guitar Neck Shaving and Profiling.
What we’ll do for your guitar neck:
When we perform guitar neck shaving. It’s intended for musicians who are working and need a more comfortable tool for their jobs. After the neck shave, it will then play and feel better for that player. A guitarist’s tool is not intended to be entered into a beauty contest. A guitar is a work tool used to get across a musical point, to entertain and ultimately pay the bills. If your neck thickness is an impediment to your playing, then guitar neck shaving is the right approach. It offers more playing comfort for you.
Replacement Guitar Necks -We will do the following:
- Help you decide on the best materials, neck profile for your technique, comfortable frets, finish and nut for your style. We can use your existing tuners or replace and upgrade them as necessary.
- In performing a 4-axis alignment of the guitar neck your new guitar neck will be checked. It is adjusted to be true and straight to ensure proper alignment on all 4 axis. This step almost always ensures proper action and allows for more accurate and easier guitar tuning and playing. A full set-up will then be performed in the following steps.

- We level and polish the frets to insure that all of the guitar frets are level. We eliminate any possibility of fret buzz due to unevenness.
- Next, we radius the guitar strings. Since, most guitar necks have a curved contour over the top of the neck called the radius. We adjust the strings to make sure the height of each string perfectly follows the contour of your guitar neck. Because, once we determine the contour and then set the radius of the guitar strings, it’s time to adjust the overall height of the strings from the top of the frets to the bottom of the guitar strings accurately.
- In addition, we can re-check the overall guitar string height and the action all while maintaining the radius just created. The truss rod adjustment is then able to be made here. The strings will be parallel all the way down the fret board and neck straight.
- Finally, we set the guitar intonation. This step is done twice. The intonation is set two times with a 24 hour “seat-in” period in between to allow the guitar to properly re-seat and settle in with the new adjustments. Replacement Guitar Necks are available close by in the Conway/Myrtle Beach/Aynor/North Myrtle Beach/Carolina Forest/Surfside Beach/Garden City/Little River and Longs areas
