Send your neck to us at Haywire Custom Shop. On Urethane and
polyester finishes sometimes the sweat from your hand will slow you
down. Even on some Lacquer finishes with a high shine this can occur.
Water between your hand and a high gloss finish can “grab” and suddenly
stop you. It can be very irritating to be on your way to a great riff
then get stopped! So, what do you do? Send it to us here at the shop.
We will “Satinize” your finish so the grab from your hand sweat will not
be nearly as noticeable. Contrary to some thinking, a matte or satin
finish on a neck will feel and play much faster. It will allow for your
hands to travel up and down the neck unimpeded. When the gloss is
knocked off of the finish the stickiness will disappear.
Dirt on necks will slow down playing on a guitar neck
Some general housekeeping on your guitar will help it play faster.
Dirt combined with sweat can make it gummy. You can rub it out to make
it more slippery and not as gummy and slow. Some lemon juice and salt
will work. Mineral spirits will clean a neck too.Keep your instrument
clean for better playing.
Action on the back of your guitar neck
Guitar players speak about the “neck action” often. Action is referred to as: “the
height of the strings above the fret board or distance from the top of
the frets . It is also used to describe the general ease, feel and
ability of a guitar to play effortlessly. However, these terms and
descriptions refer to the front of a guitar neck. Rarely does anyone
speak about the “action on the back of the neck”. This kind of action
is just as important as the action on the neck front on a guitar. Why?
Well an often heard complaint is my neck is slowing me down. If the
action solutions have been addressed on the top of or front of your
guitar neck then what’s left? Of course-the back! That’s where we come
in. The Haywire Custom shop will address all concerns you have
EVERYWHERE on your guitar. The neck profile finish is no exception. So,
let’s get you playing your guitar faster.
The relationship of neck back finish to playing speed
A satin finish is between a high shine and matte finish (no sheen).
Replacing the sheen is a great way to speed up the feel and action on
the back of your guitar neck. Your fingers act like suction cups on a
high sheen finish. Like frogs feet your fingers are more likely to stick
on a glossy surface. Frogs prefer glassy and shiny surfaces such as
windows. They can stick like glue on them. They’ll hang there for long
periods of time. However they rarely stick to a non-shiny or matte
surface. If they’re smart enough to know the difference-shouldn’t we be?
The same principle applies to guitar necks. If you want a faster
neck-with no sticking, then don’t add a sheen to the surface. Let us
speed up the action on the front and back of your guitar neck.
“Just $55.00 plus return shipping back to you will get guitar neck faster more comfortable for you.
Best of all, no waiting. We work on the neck as soon as it gets here. the turn around time is 2 days or less from when we receive it”.
2 things to remember when shipping to us:
Firstly, Ship with the US Post Office. They are less expensive and much more careful with your packages from our experience.
Second, Forget buying “signature required” services. Our postal carriers know where to leave the neck safely and securely.
These two tips will save you money, save time by getting us the neck sooner and delivered safely.

New guitar necks? The ideal electric guitar neck is one that is
comfortable for YOU. Want the best replacement guitar necks available?
What are they? They are simply the ones that suit your style and
comfort. By investing so much time in listening to guitar players, we’re
able to produce a perfect guitar neck. Most importantly, it not only
looks good, but is a superior choice in comfort and feel for you when
playing all night long. We care about customer needs and satisfaction
with our work. We take time finishing and assembling your guitar when
adding new guitar necks, bodies, parts and strings.
Options on Your Guitar Neck
We offer you as a guitar player, what YOU want. Some custom shops will try and sell stuff they have simply to make money. At Haywire Custom shop we help you buy what you need so you’ll come back because you like how you’re treated. New guitar necks
have lots of options. For example, “alternate” scale replacement necks
for those looking for a different feel as in a 24-3/4″ Gibson scale on
their Strat or Tele. We know you need fret size, nut size, truss rods,
inlays, fingerboard radius, back contours, thickness, wood, and head
stock shapes. So, we do it. We do what you need for your comfort. We offer guitar necks for sale that you need. Installation on purchased guitar necks is free!
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.
Custom Guitar Neck Shapes For You
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.
Guitar Neck Shaping and Carving will improve the feel and action of a guitar. If done properly a player will benefit from a slimmer thinner neck. Guitarists with smaller hands will especially feel a difference in the neck thickness. In turn, this will facilitate their playing style and speed. Neck shaping is one of the best custom guitar modifications a player can do for themselves if necks are too thick.
carving and shaping a guitar neck
Most players want their guitar neck to be shaped symmetrically all the way down. I used to use a digital caliper gauge to check for symmetry and thickness. After several years I have gotten to the point where I could feel if it was the shape I was seeking. Running my hand across the surface will give me a good idea how close I am to final shaping. As far as thickness, the thickness of the neck to be what the player specifies. After all, I'm not doing the necks for me but for the owner of the guitar.
For example if he wants the neck a standard thin, then the first fret to be about 0.800″ and at the 12th fret about 0.92″ unless the customer specifies something else. These dimensions seem to be comfortable to most average players. The key is to help players all over the spectrum not simply average players.
final guitar neck shaping measurements
Once I get close to the final size the customer needs the calipers come out more frequently. When the guitar neck is carved and shaped to where it needs to be I'll sand, smooth and add a finish to protect it. If it's a neck someone has brought in, then I'll match the finish to color and style. It's perfect if it looks like nothing has been done to it. My feeling is the less invasive the better. Sometimes the entire neck has to be reshaped for a player so they can play more comfortably. In the end, that why we do guitar neck shaping, for the players.
[caption id="attachment_598" align="aligncenter" width="200"] Haywire Custom Guitars Nashville Player #1 Guitar[/caption]
The fingerboard, or playing surface of your guitar neck, is usually curved or radiused across its width. The purpose of this radius is to accommodate the natural ergonomic shape of your fingers when they are in playing position. Comfort is certainly a major factor in selecting a fingerboard radius but it is not the only factor. Musical Style... the fingerboard radius must also allow you to play the style of music you prefer.
Why is fingerboard radius important?
The fingerboard radius, the curve or arc across the top of your guitar neck varies from neck to neck. It's easy to spot on most electric guitar and bass fingerboards. Almost none of them are flat. Most guitar and bass necks have a light curvature across their width. The smaller the radius, then the more curved the top of the radius will be. Hence, a larger the radius the flatter the top of the board is. Over the years the most common ones are: smaller vintage-style 7.25″ radius, 12" and the modern 9.5" . These are all readily available.
New age fingerboard neck radius choices
Today there are lots of choices from 7.5" all the way up to 20" radius boards. These will accommodate and make most any player happy. A guitar player today will have a lot of custom guitar neck choices to fit his style and comfort. If not the there are lots of choices in between. For example, compound-radius fingerboard is a fairly new option that some guitarists find attractive. The fingerboard is more rounded near the 1st fret area and then flattens out closer to the 12fth fret area. So almost any choice is available to a guitar player today. Haywire Custom guitars offers any fingerboard radius choice that a guitar player needs to be comfortable and play like he wants to play.
There is no right or wrong choice for players. Whatever suits a players comfort level, their personal preferences are all available from us here at haywire Custom Shop. It's important that a guitar player knows he has a choice.

Communicate The Shape For Shaving Down My Guitar Neck
Guitar Neck Shaving
Haywire Custom Shop Custom Neck shave before and after
QUESTION:
Hi Rick,
I saw your website about your services including shaving down a guitar neck.
A couple questions:
How would I communicate the shape I wanted ?
Would I ship the whole guitar to your shop ?
How long would it take, approximately ?
Is the base price $135 plus return shipping ?
Thank you !
ANSWER:
Thank you for stopping by the website and taking time to write about Guitar Neck Shaving .
The best way to communicate what you need is to either work with
specs from your existing neck or send a neck along with the one you’d
like shaved.
Ideally the neck you send should be what you’d liked duplicated on the neck to be shaved.
If you want to work from the existing neck then move the strings
and take measurements with a digital caliper as we do every time a neck
comes in to the shop.
From those measurements you will better be able to determine how much you want removed to make it a better playing neck for you.
Here is a typical example of what takes place when we get a neck in the shop to be shaved:
In this way we can get the reduction as close as possible within a few thousandths.
There are other ways as well, such as you can say, “I’d like a 20% reduction” and we can go from there.
The more specific you can be the better the outcome. We can duplicate anything you send us as well.
The other consideration is the back profile and if you’d like it to stay the same or if you want a change.
Firstly, when in the middle of a gig do you notice some hand fatigue, 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". 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. Guitar neck reshaping is often desired but hardly attained without the proper resources.
Guitar neck 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 to 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. Instead 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. Companies build in the middle of the spectrum to "general players" with "average hands" with "average" needs. They take nothing into account regarding the comfort or needs of players "outside" the middle of the spectrum.
So, if your an average guy, with average hands and middle of the road in every way-you'll be fine with an general off-the-rack guitar built for average sales produced by almost every guitar company. As a result, because of your style differences, hand size, physical limitations, unusual playing style you don't fall in the "middle of the spectrum" so we can help. Guitar neck reshaping an existing can be the best customization ever for you and your guitar neck. Your guitar neck contour or back shape of the neck is important for optimum play-ability and hand comfort. $135 plus return shipping may be the best money you ever spent on your guitar. Call us 843-347-5742 or email us : haywire@sccoast.net
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. A set of digital calipers is all you need to do that!
Haywire Custom Guitars-Play Painlessly with a new ergonomic guitar neck shape
Could Your Guitar Be A Roadblock To Success As A Guitar Player?
A hard to play guitar could be a roadblock to success as a guitar player and musician. At Haywire Custom Shop, we prep a guitar with our "8 Point Gig Ready Process”. Of course not every step is completely necessary on every guitar, for example if the pickups on the guitar we are working on are potted (dipped in wax) no need to cover that again. As a result, our process has an underlying agenda.
we avoid problems that create roadblocks to your success
Which is to act as a screening tool for an overall view of your guitar integrity as well as play-ability. By going over each step it can and often does lead to checking into other issues that need attention. So, basically we do a preliminary forensic guitar test to determine the overall baseline health of the guitar.
The most important part of your guitar is its neck. Because all guitar necks are subject to great stress as a result of string tension and seasonal change, there are times when a neck may take on a slight bow (or warp) or neck hump. However, if it does, there is no cause for alarm we'll find it when we check for the straightness.
insure your success as a guitar player
Therefore we avoid problems that create roadblocks to your success as a guitar player. As they arrive in the shop, each guitar neck is checked and adjusted to be sure it is true and straight to ensure proper alignment on all axis. This step ensures proper action and allows for better and consistent string height and easier guitar tuning and playing. If a neck is bowed, then playing at the bowed area in the neck is always more difficult. The reason is that the strings are higher off the neck at the area of the bow. A player has to remember to slightly change his/her technique when playing around that spot. Rather than have to deal with that we make sure the neck is parallel to the strings and all action up and down the neck is the same. In that way, a player only has to think about the music and not how hard to push down the strings in certain problem spots. Finally, our inspections and fixes can help insure your success as a guitar player. Make sense?
Play Effortlessly
Hi Usman, Interesting question. Building a guitar is like raising a child. Any parent knows that some children are easy to raise and some are especially difficult all the way through from beginning to end. It is the exactly the same with putting a guitar together. And like children, they are all different. Some are easy from the beginning until the end, then there's the rest. Seems like most of the time new builds are very predictable. Therefore, no problems are expected. Because they're so much like children they can behave unusually.
Knowing how to handle each behavior that results from having a difficult child is important. Also, a difficult guitar needs to be dealt with properly. Dealing with guitars day in and day out gives builders a perspective that no one else can share. So,....If I think something is wrong, I find out what and why.
Furthermore, like children and adolescents, guitars can have disorders that interfere with the way they feel, and act. As a result, we have to diagnose each and every problem that arises. A builder needs to keep building the guitar on track to be a great instrument he can be proud of. And like children, behavior needs to be monitored constantly.
"Play well with others"
From the very beginning people have preferences about the way they like guitars and children to be. As we grow and learn, our preferences can expand and become more sophisticated. They can also change with new experiences. Do you ever find yourself saying to your child or your guitar, “But you always used to be more like X.” or "Play well with others"?
Whenever there are difficulties, and there will always be difficulties, ones ability to resolve these difficulties may very well hinge on the strength of experience. Therefore with raising children and building a guitar, we have to keep in mind creative and enjoyable ways to live harmoniously together.

Maria asks: What types of modifications can you do to a guitar, what effect do these modifications have on the quality of music that guitar produces?
Hello Maria,
Good question. There are different reasons behind guitar comfort mods (or modifications). Some are guitar "comfort" mods, for short, and they are designed to change the feel of the guitar when in contact with the players body. Yet still other modifications have nothing to do with sound at all. Women are built differently and require lighter guitars. Aging and older guitar players face comfort issues. We address those issues for older guitar players.
The comfort mods include, tummy cuts in the back of the guitar for better more ergonomic fit with the human body. Because the cut makes the guitar body fit the human body closer. The feel is softer with comfort curves that feel more natural to us. Other comfort issues include smaller and thinner guitar necks. In addition players with medical issues such as tendonitis, we work with them. Guitar neck shaving is done to slim down the neck for ease of play. Other comfort mods have to do with a guitar players hand size, and reach on the "heel crest area of the neck".
these mods help a player feel more comfortable
Still other guitar comfort mods include slimming down the general thickness of the neck, the width of the neck, radius or curvature of the top of the fret board, height of the strings from the frets, the scale length of a neck, string gauge, certain afflictions like arthritis, may have an effect on the location of the volume and tone controls. This affects the feel of the distance of the strings from each other. Areas as neck back contours can be very influential to a players comfort. Because all of these mods help a player feel more comfortable. And therefore they are more able to concentrate on the job of playing music.
guitar comfort mods for medical issues are serious and need to be addressed
There are the other modification that become necessary for improving the sound quality of the notes. These mods affect the quality of music the guitar produces. They include, but are not limited to: excessive noise through a pickup, muffle when rolling down the volume control, weakness in a pickup, uneven sound or volume from a pickup, switching combinations not usually available except through custom wiring, pole piece adjustment on Humbucker pickups, and adding tremolo devices for semi-tone wobbles creating dramatic effects.
Finally, The Haywire Custom shop will make all guitar comfort mods available for all guitar players as needed. Medical issues are serious and need to be addressed. Older guitar players need assistance. Haywire Custom shop is here to do that. The sound issues have more to do with the quality that the guitar produces. Especially relevant is the fact that "quality of music" is completely subjective. That is completely dependent upon the guitar player.
