Haywire Custom Guitars- Recessed Heel Crest
Yes, it’s our idea, we have been employing it for years! Recessed Heel option: in 1981 Haywire Custom Shop discovered it was easier and more comfortable to play high notes with this feature. We simply move the Crest of the heel down approximately 7/8″ further into the guitar body which allows more articulate Pro playing. We do it right-for you.
You need the Haywire Recessed Heel 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. An original Haywire innovation.
