The Incredible Convenience of Locking Tuners

Grover Rotomatic 406C mini locking guitar tuning machine heads make quick work of tuning. With a gear ratio of 18:1, these locking tuners give you all the benefits of standard Rotomatics - plus the positive locking of Grover's internal cam post. Insert your string through the string hole, pull to tension by hand, and start to tune. As you begin tuning, only the locking cam in the string post turns. The string post begins to turn once the string is locked. In under one string post revolution, you'll be in tune. And you'll stay in tune, with Grover's Rotomatic 406C locking guitar tuning machines.

Wide Guitar Necks for Players with Large Hands! 

Wide guitar necks are better for players with bigger hands or who want more Neck space in between each string to facilitate fretting notes more cleanly.  A wider nut offers more separation between the strings at the head stock end of the neck. The width of necks, and their shape as well, will suit certain players more than others. Often, it's a case of the size and shape you need, and also the kind of playing preferred.
Custom Standard Thin "C: profile Neck: .080 at the first fret and .085 at the 12th fret. 

If you have a size 13 foot, you need a size 13 shoe. Stop any roadblocks to your success as a guitar player. Get the right equipment for you.

If you want to play great! Start with the right equipment for YOU:

This guitar was built and designed for bigger guys, who have bigger fingers. The wider 2" nut installed is much wider and meets the standards of larger players and finger pickers, who need and appreciate the “extra room” between the strings.

The benefits of the wider fret board include but are not limited to: better action, better pull-offs, no crowded fingers when chording, easier finger placement, clearer notes and more real estate on the top of the fret board for the guitarist to play. It is just a building technique to add comfort to playing a guitar that you cannot get from "off the rack" instruments in a music store.

"Light weight plus super low action and a wider nut width".

There are real benefits to a custom extra wide neck and a good luthier who understands what techniques to apply to an instrument so it will be easier to play.

• Neck profile: The neck is thin, straight and easy to wrap your hand around it to fret notes and form chords.
• Action: The height of the strings above the fret-board is very low. A smooth neck and well-placed frets
• String gauge: The gauge of the strings 10-42.
• Scale length: The length of the scale is 25-½”.
• Neck angle: The angle of the neck is perfect on all 4 axis.
• Weight: Light enough to be comfortable with great resonance and sustain.
• Body shape: The single cut-away has a comfortable body shape and a well-balanced weight.
• It feels "broken in" and comfortable right out of the box.
• The great tone will respond to the subtle nuances of your technique, allowing expression of musical ideas with clarity and precision.

Haywire Custom Guitars

"Building satisfied players one Haywire Custom guitar at a time!"

Great Tone and Sustain with lots of resonance

When the Treble Bleed Circuit is included:

Turning the volume control applies varying amounts of a specially tuned high frequency filter to the selected pickups. Now each pickup has the ability to produce a stronger, fuller tone and 50% less noise.

This variable treble bleed circuit is pre-installed. This variable treble bleed/bypass circuit corrects the problem of high frequency losses, provides auto-adjustment of tone at reduced volumes and improves audio taper between 3 and 10.

We hear you.

THIS GUITAR HAS A WORKING BRIDGE TONE CONTROL !

In MOST Fender Stratocaster guitars the tone control doesn't work for the bridge-only pickup on a Stratocaster.

It works on a few, approximately 1% of Stratocaster guitars whether made by Fender or by Squier, or Affinity, Fender Japan, Fender Taiwan, Fender Mexico, American (circa 1991) or Fender China and more have no tone control on the bridge pickup. The tone controls do work for the other four switch positions.

Why? It was just a design that was only meant to please the inventor, Mr. Leo Fender.

Leo Fender wanted a pickup position that sounded similar to a steel guitar. So now in Fender guitars the bridge pickup selection has no tone control wired to it whatsoever and no one at Fender Corp. since then has seemed to notice. They have failed to hear what guitarists for years have asked. Can we simply have a tone control on our bridge pickup? YES.
