mj_gant Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I need to raise up the neck on a solid body, bolt on strat type. Typically I see "chop shop" jobs with picks, sandpaper, etc...in the pocket towards the body. My question...would it be more "pro" to shim the entire neck up with thin wood that fits the entire pocket, or is there a reason for shimming towards the body only? Thanks!!

www Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 I've used veneer that I tapered (sanded) so their it was thicker near the body. It didn't take much of a taper to do the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 29, 2004 Report Share Posted March 29, 2004 If you shim towards the body only it changes the angle of the neck from the body. This helps if your action is to high on the 21st fret but about right at the 12th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
