Hand Hurts When Playing High Frets: Solution

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……………….

You’ll have “TOTAL ACCESS” to the neck with our Special “Recessed Heel Crest” modification. A Haywire Recessed Heel Joint Option will let you fly all the way up the entire neck with no road blocks to your playing. You will no longer have to alter your technique to continue playing farther up the neck to reach the high notes.
