Customer Questions & Answers
-
Question:
What are StewMac Electric Guitar Neck Shims used for?
Answer: StewMac Electric Guitar Neck Shims are designed to facilitate precise adjustments of bolt-on necks on electric guitars. They help achieve the perfect angle between the neck and body to enhance playability and intonation. If you encounter issues such as string buzz or incorrect neck angle, these shims provide a simple solution. For instance, using a 0.25° shim can elevate the neck slightly, improving string action without the need for extensive modifications. -
Question:
What materials are these shims made from?
Answer: These shims are crafted from tapered maple, known for its durability and stability. Maple is a preferred material in the music industry due to its resonance properties, which can positively influence the guitar's tone. Additionally, the tapered design allows for gradual adjustment of the neck angle, making it a tailored solution for various guitar setups. Whether you're adjusting for a vintage or modern guitar, the quality of maple ensures longevity and performance. -
Question:
How do I determine which shim to use for my guitar neck adjustment?
Answer: Choosing the right shim depends on your specific guitar’s neck angle and string action. A good start is to assess the current playability of your guitar. If strings are too high, a 1° shim might be effective, whereas if it's too low, a 0.25° shim can help achieve the perfect height. Experimenting with each shim will clarify which provides the optimal adjustment for your playing style and preference, enabling better performance and comfort. -
Question:
Can these shims be used for any type of electric guitar?
Answer: While these shims are primarily designed for bolt-on neck electric guitars, they can enhance most models that allow neck angle adjustments. Brands like Fender or Gibson often benefit from such modifications, but always ensure compatibility. Before purchase, check your guitar model specifications to guarantee that steering the neck angle with these shims will yield the desired improvements in playability and tone. -
Question:
What are the benefits of using full contact shims?
Answer: Full contact shims provide a robust engagement between the neck and body of the guitar, ensuring consistent and stable adjustments. They minimize movement and enhance contact area, which can positively affect tone transfer. When you place the shim precisely, it can maximize vibration transfer from the neck to the body, further enriching the overall sound. This is particularly beneficial for musicians who play live and need reliable performance. -
Question:
How do I install the shims properly?
Answer: Installing the neck shims involves loosening the neck screws, sliding the shim into place, and then tightening the screws back without overtightening. Make sure the shim sits flat against the neck pocket for optimal contact. It's recommended to check the neck's straightness using a ruler after installation to confirm whether the adjustment meets your needs. Taking your time with this step ensures you achieve the correct angle, enhancing your guitar's playability. -
Question:
Are these shims reusable for future adjustments?
Answer: Yes, the StewMac Electric Guitar Neck Shims are reusable, allowing you to make adjustments as needed without requiring a new set each time. Their durability ensures they can withstand multiple adjustments. If you decide to change your guitar setup or switch instruments, simply remove and reapply them. This flexibility makes them a cost-effective choice for guitarists who experiment with different setups regularly. -
Question:
Will these shims affect my guitar's tone?
Answer: Yes, the angle adjustments made with these shims can indeed influence the guitar's tone. By optimizing the neck angle, you enable better string vibration transfer to the body, potentially resulting in a richer sound. Consequently, if you're looking for improved tone clarity or resonance, using the correct shim can make a notable difference in playability and audio quality, enhancing your musical experience significantly. -
