Highlights
  • Fully parametric Fusion 360 design — edit width, length, thickness, angle.
  • Made for bolt-on neck guitars (Fender®, Squier®, and similar routs).
  • Precision neck-angle control for setup, action, and bridge/saddle range.
  • Pairs with the online calculator to pick your exact shim angle.

What’s Included

  • Fusion 360 parametric file (fully editable parameters).
  • Printable mesh (STL) of the base configuration for quick tests.

Compatibility & Notes

  • Designed for standard electric bolt-on pockets; adjust parameters for your model if needed.
  • Default shim tip thickness used by the calculator: 0.00787402″ (0.20 mm).
  • Typical print advice: 0.08 mm layer height for a crisp tip; PETG or PLA+ recommended.
  • Always test-fit before final install to confirm neck pocket tolerances.
