Hi. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Just as importantly for me however are our very kind and gracious comments and for that you took the time to offer them. They are very much appreciated.

Hi..Many thanks for your comments and glad you liked the video. It's an easy fix which I do as a matter of course on all the guitars i acquire.

Hi Jessie, thanks for your comments. Good to know it was helpful.

Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated and glad the video has been of some help.

hey many thanks for your comment - much appreciated

Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck with your mod !

3 mm Allen Key. Thanks for your comments. Take care and stay safe.

Hi. Thanks for your comments. Personally I think people put far too much emphasis on what I consider minor factors. The big tone factors are wood, body design, pickups, amps, effects, strings and to a lesser degree the nut. That accounts for 99.9% . So no real tone or sustain issues noticeable to me. Although I'm sure others will disagree. That's guitars for you.

@@derekcunningham5747 Totally agree. 👍

Well done Jill ! 6 cents is a real value for money outcome.

@@derekcunningham5747 drill hole in nickel and tap it and a grub screw and a penny in neck heel and micro tilt. Thx

HI Daniel for the neck disc and the flat surface of the t-nut in the body use a 19mm forstner bit for the threaded part of the t-nut use an 8mm bit (or 9mm would be ok) for the neck plate and through the guitar body to accept the allen key use either 4,5 or 6mm drill bit (video says 4mm but you can go higher and probably better you do - it is a bit more forgiving if you are not drilling truly vertical)

Thanks for your comments and to each his/her own. I know there are always 'tone suck' comments on so many aspects of guitars. I personally think 99.9% of tone comes from ,the wood, the body construction, the pickups, the electrics, the amplifier and any effects processing - and of course most significantly 'the guitarist'. The other 0.1% from bridges, nuts, tilts etc are not a huge issue for me and in all likeliehood in a blind test I would never be able to tell the difference. But the beauty of music and guitars are that we are all different - stick with your shims and be happy with your tone. Rock on @scowell !

@@derekcunningham5747 I've got a "Big Apple" Strat from 1998 with this micro-tilt built into it. I used it to tweak my neck a bit years ago and I've never looked back. I think that tone suck argument is a weak one. My Big Apple remains one of my top guitars still.

Hi, Not quite sure what you mean. It's a standard form of micro tilt and if fitted properly will have no problems. It's just a method of giving some fine adjustment to the neck angle and an effective alternative to installing shims. I've fitted to many guitars with no issues and have had no adverse comments from any customers buying a tilt kit from me. Not sure if this helps but hope so.

@@derekcunningham5747 Hi. I was just curious. I have followed a luthier for a number of years and he has had quite a few factory models with micro tilt and ski jump neck issues. If you look for his website article, it is haze guitars shimming and ski jumps. I have recently spent £1700 on a guitar that has no other option but to use its micro tilt, where a more precise heel cut would be expected at that price. Hope the info helps. I am not putting the method down in any way. I was justifiably curious of a users experience.

En Argentina se vende en ferreterías: "insertos de maderas" y tornillos/ prisioneros /gusanos, sin cabeza Allen. La pieza que va en el mástil podría ser una moneda pulida o rodaja de hierro. Está fácil para hacerlo ! Tengo pensado intentarlo!

Hi Doofwop, Merry Christmas - I hope you've had a lovely day. Many thanks for your constructive criticism as comments are always welcome. But I would like to offer a couple of comments in response. 1. The drill was most definitely NOT in reverse mode. Having reviewed the video I accept it does look like that, something I hadn't noticed before. It does take me back to me early days doing woodwork in school where we had to be careful with lathes as the 50Hz cycle of electricity would affect the lighting and could make the lathe appear to be stationary or spinning in the opposite direction. A fairly basic issue taught at school and which clearly is in play here. Had it been in reverse the forstner bit would simply not have cut. 2. Totally agree that using a drill press gives much more precision and I use a drill press when fitting micro tilts myself. I'm working on the basis that anyone who owns a drill press would as a matter of course use it. The video however was intended to enable anyone, including those who neither own or have access to a drill press, to be able to complete this fairly straightforward exercise using the basic tools available to most. It would not be worth the expense of buying a drill press, even a basic one, simply to fit a single micro tilt which is what many of my customers do. There is absolutely no need for a drill press to fit the neck disc and whilst fitting the t-nut does benefit from a drill press, the amount and depth of drilling can easily be achieved with the relevant due care and attention to ensure drilling is vertical. But your comments are much appreciated. Best wishes for 2024.

@doofwop what you are seeing is called the wagon-wheel effect. Watch the chuck as the drill speeds up.

Hi, many thanks for you query - language is 'technical'.

Hi Scott, Seems ok at my end so not sure what has happened. May be something to do with KZfaq introducing something about 'Handles' over the last few days. If you're messaging me you must be on the right page but here's the link anyway kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrSendar0de5qY0.html

That seller is on the UK eBay site, does not ship to USA.
