A Guitar for YOU? It’s not only sales that we directly benefit from,
but it’s YOU, and sharing your guitar experience with other players. We want to support each and every player in the hopes that in it’s travels, a Haywire guitar, from our custom shop may catch the eye of a player whom needs a good instrument but maybe cannot afford what most companies charge now for a guitar. Their goal is profit.
Our goal is simply-“No player left behind”. We donate guitars every year but never really know if they get into the hands of a needy player who cannot afford a guitar. At Haywire Custom Guitars Custom Shop we also do a lot of work on players’ guitars. Most of these guitars are near and dear to their hearts.
We give guitar players good solid work and what they need at a great price. They need to trust that the work will be good. We know what players need and how little they get paid for their skills. With us it’s not about the money but getting needed support and quality at a price real musicians can afford. Having been there, we are advocates for players world-wide.
In
some cases, a replacement guitar neck is preferable to replacing the
entire guitar. First of all, cracking finishes, worn frets and warping
fret boards are common ailments of guitar necks. Therefore, replacing a
bolt-on guitar neck is often a considerably less expensive option than
repairing the damage or replacing the whole guitar.
Most
of all, when the time comes, Haywire Custom Shop can replace your neck
for you. Because, one solution, guitar neck replacement may solve your
guitar neck issues. You Can Choose from Super Wide and Fat Guitar
Necks to Thin and Slim! Consequently, it may be the best decision you
make on your guitar. Most of all, finding your perfect neck can be
almost life-changing for a pro guitar player. While, looking for a
positive change in playing this is it.
Your Replacement Guitar Neck -We will do the following:
In
performing a 4-axis alignment of the guitar neck your new guitar neck
will be checked and adjusted to be true and straight to ensure proper
alignment on all 4 axis. This step almost always ensures proper action
and allows for more accurate and easier guitar tuning and playing. A
full set-up will then be performed in the following steps.
We
level and polish the frets to insure that all of the guitar frets are
level, eliminating any possibility of fret buzz due to unevenness.
Next,
we radius the guitar strings. Since, most guitar necks have a curved
contour over the top of the neck called the radius. We adjust the
strings to make sure the height of each string. They perfectly follow
the contour of your guitar neck. Because, once we determine the contour
and then we set the radius of the guitar strings. Next, it’s time to
adjust the overall height of the strings from the top of the frets to
the bottom of the guitar strings accurately.
Help you decide on the best materials, neck profile for your technique,
comfortable frets, finish and nut for your style. We can use your
existing tuners or replace and upgrade them as necessary.
In
addition, we can re-check the overall guitar string height and the
action all while maintaining the radius just created. The truss rod
adjustment is then able to be made here. The strings will be parallel
all the way down the fret board and neck straight.
Finally, we
set the guitar intonation. This step is done twice. The intonation is
set two times with a 24 hour “seat-in” period in between to allow the
guitar to properly re-seat and settle in with the new adjustments.
