Guitar Neck Shaving: Making a Good Guitar Feel Right
The correct guitar neck is the one that allows you to play comfortably and naturally. That is where guitar neck shaving, thinning, and reshaping can make a remarkable difference. At Haywire Custom Guitars, neck shaving is not about making every guitar neck thin. It is about changing the existing neck so that it better fits the player.

Increased Speed: A thinner profile permits faster thumb movement and fluid transitions across the fretboard. Affordable Customization: Modifying an existing neck is vastly cheaper than buying a whole new custom guitar.
