Have you ever considered…?

Electric & acoustic guitar neck shaving and reshaping to customize a guitar just for the way you play?

Firstly, when in the middle of a gig do you notice some hand fatigue?  In addition to, inability to reach notes or the feeling there’s something slowing you down?  Did you ever pick up a friends guitar and say to yourself, “I wish my guitar felt this good”?  And, have you found a guitar somewhere that looks exactly like your and had to go grab it to see what it felt like?  Most importantly, were you surprised?  Likely it didn’t feel like yours did it?  Players begin the customization process the very day they get a new guitar. Electric & acoustic guitar neck shaving is often desired but hardly attained without the proper resources.

Electric & acoustic guitar neck shaves and reshaping is often desired………

There are many possibilities for better playing guitars.  For example: a neck that allows you to change the scale length of your 25-1/2″ Fender scale guitar.  Consider the shorter Gibson scale of 24-3/4″. This kind of customization shortens the distance between frets and lowers string tension for easier, quicker playing.  Thought about it?  Never heard about it?  It’s very attainable for any player who is desiring a change. Some players need a change as in guitar neck reshaping but can’t really verbalize what they need.  Equally important, we’ll often hear, “this guitar is uncomfortable, it’s hard to play, my hands ache after a while or I can’t play as fast as I want to. The spectrum of player comfort is extremely wide.

The spectrum of player comfort is extremely wide…..

Guitars are manufactured for “sales” not your comfort. Further, most companies build in the middle of the spectrum to “general players” with “average hands” with “average” needs.  Similarly, they do not take into account comfort or needs of players “outside” the middle of the spectrum.

In fact, if you’re an average guy, with average hands and middle of the road in every way-you’ll be fine with a general off-the-rack regular guitar built for average sales and produced by almost every guitar company. As a result, because of your style differences, hand size, physical limitations, unusual playing style you may not fall in the “middle of the road spectrum”.

What would help immensely, if you can do it, is to identify a neck that you just love and measure it.

Measuring a neck that you like:

Using a pair of digital calipers.

Take measurements from dead center of each fret section.

1)- Move the strings off the fretboard

2)- Measure between the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th frets

3)- Record and send me the measurements of your favorite neck and we’ll duplicate it for you.

Send your desired thickness in between the frets on the 1, 3, 5, 7, 9th and 12th frets and we’ll fill in the blanks. I want to assure you it will be in good hands here in the Haywire Custom Shop.

In conclusion, you’ll need help to determine which guitar neck reshaping process works best for your playing comfort. Think about a comparison with a neck you know that you already prefer. Above all, if you know what you need then you’re 90% there then we can get you all the way there. Compare the dimensions of the neck you’d like to change to those of your “favorite” neck for a start.  In brief, a set of digital calipers is all you need to do that!

Electric & acoustic guitar neck shaves:

What is Your Preference?

A Thin Neck or Thick Neck ?

Neck thickness should be chosen for what best fits your hands, not the “tone” it has.  Furthermore, that should be the major consideration in the choice of your new neck. The timbre of a fat neck is noticeable. However, most of the tone comes from your playing technique-not the wood.

On an electric guitar, tones are affected by everything from the pickups and amplification to pedals, pickups to speaker enclosures.

Guitar Neck Shaving Is A Viable Option For Maximum Comfort

In a live playing situation “wood tones” in an electric guitar will become even less noticeable.  Let’s say everything is equal and your guitar is perfectly in tune and intoned.  The overall sound of the guitar may be noticeably affected by a fatter/ thicker neck but generally only when you are playing without the guitar plugged in to an amp. Most of all, high gain electric guitar tone is very much dependent on a player’s technique and comfort with his instrument and not the thickness of a neck. Therefore, guitar neck shaving is a viable option for comfort.
