Taylor Shims!

January 2025

Taylor neck construction led the world to bolt-on necks for quality acoustic guitars...making the instrument serviceable over the long term without sacrificing tone. The neck angle can be adjusted by unbolting the neck and swapping shims between different precision engineered gradients. As a Taylor accredited technician I have the complete range of Taylor shims and the experience to install them correctly - making a "neck reset" a very economical job. Here's a recent example:

One of the three neck joint bolts

"Old" shim that needs to be adjusted

"New" shim to correct neck angle.

Beautiful, huh?
