Acoustic and Electric Guitar Neck Shaving and Profiling
Guitar neck shaving, thinning or reshaping a guitar neck, re-profiling a guitar neck or shaping and duplicating guitar necks? We do it all as a result, you feel more comfortable with your guitar. Therefore, if you have a neck that you just love but it’s a bit too thick-
Wider Guitar Neck For Larger Hands
We can add wider guitar neck for larger hands 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 wider necks for larger hands are for BIG guys. You know who you are and so do we.
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.
