StewMac Neck Shims for Bass are crafted from solid maple to provide a reliable and precise solution for adjusting the angle of bolt-on necks. Designed by guitar repair experts, these tapered shims offer full contact between the neck and the body, preventing unwanted gaps that can impact tone and cause neck kinks. Say goodbye to makeshift fixes with matchbook covers or guitar picks, and ensure a professional, lasting repair with StewMac’s expertly designed neck shims.
Each shim is tapered to cover the entire heel of the neck, enhancing the connection and sound quality of your instrument. Full-contact fit eliminates dead air spaces where humidity can accumulate, preventing upward kinks in the neck as described by Dan Erlewine in his Guitar Player Repair Guide. These shims help maintain a firm connection between the neck and body, crucial for preserving tone and playability.
