Neck Shims for Guitar

These precisely tapered shims are the best way to change the angle of a bolt-on neck. - 3 Different angles - 0.25, 0.5 & 1 degree - Can be stacked for more angle - Complete contact for better tone - High-quality, precise machining - Solid American Rock Maple - Cut for rounded heel - Trim line for straight heel Setting the neck on a different angle is a common necessity when setting up a guitar with a bolt-on neck, such as a Fender Stratocaster or Telecaster. These ready-made tapered shims cover the entire heel. They raise the bridge to a desired height and fit the neck pocket perfectly. Shaped shims fit most neck pockets with a rounded heel like Strats. You can trim along the lasered line to fit the shim to a pocket with a flat heel, like a Tele. Blank shims were designed for odd screw spacings, smaller neck pockets, and custom designs like the Fender Micro-Tilt™. Dimensions: Shaped: 2-3/16" x 3" (55.56mm x 76.12mm) Blank: 2-1/4" x 3" (57.15mm x 76.12mm) 0.25-degree shim offers the most versatility. Stacking them will let you really dial in the neck angle you're after. 0.5-degree shim is the one you'll reach for most often. It works great on Fender and many other solid bodies. 1-degree shim is great for guitars with a Tune-o-matic bridge or Floyd Rose.
