| Greetings from Haywire Custom guitars! The home of "Gig Ready Guitars" for the working musician! You need a Great Guitar! To all my fellow guitar players: I love guitars, and there's nothing like a new guitar! I like the tone, the way it feels in my hands, and the way that I can make a guitar sound "right" for any kind of music that I play. Whether it's jazz, blues, country, hard rock, R&B leads, guitar chords, or just working on guitar tabs, all it takes is a flip of a switch, a couple twists of the knobs, and I'm right where I need to be. I've bought a lot of guitars over the years, and discovered that taking that beautiful new Strat or Tele guitar out of the box was always just the first step in finding the guitar that fit in my hands the way that I imagined that it would when it first caught my eye. I found that my new guitar wouldn't be quite gig ready until I did all of the little subtle tweaks, repairs and modifications that would make it play just the way I wanted it to when I got it out onto the gig. So... I'd dress the frets, get the intonation just right, tweak the pick-ups, customize the configuration a bit, and before you know it, I'd be playing a guitar that felt like it was made to be in my hands. Playing music is always fun, but when I'm on the gig with a guitar that feels just right ... it's just pure guitar joy. After a while I thought; "Wouldn't it be great to be able to buy a guitar that felt gig ready right out of the box?" With that thought in mind, I developed Haywire's exclusive 8-point gig ready guitar process and Haywire Custom Guitars was born. When we set up a guitar with our 8-point gig- ready guitar process you can literally take that guitar out of the case, tune up, and walk on stage with a gig ready Haywire guitar that plays like you've spent months to get it just right! That's why we call Haywire Custom Guitars .... "Gig Ready Guitars For The Working Musician!" Yes! We Have Left-Hand Guitars! |
Our exclusive 8-point gig ready guitar process: 1. 4-axis Alignment of the guitar neck Each guitar neck is checked and adjusted to insure that it is true and straight to insure proper alignment on all axis. This step insures proper action and allows for more accurate and easier guitar tuning, playing and set-up in the following steps. 2. Inspect and Lube the guitar tuning gears Before installing the guitar tuning gears, each one is checked thoroughly. Each tuning gear is adjusted so that there is no play in the mechanism. They are then lubricated to insure smooth and even movement to make your guitar tune accurately. 3. Potting the guitar pickups We dip the pickups in hot wax to reduce squeal and unwanted guitar feedback. 4. Prep the guitar body Upon installing the guitar electronic components, great care is taken to insure that all wires are properly routed, spaced, and grounded to insure years of trouble free service with your guitar. 5. Level and polish the frets This insures that all of the guitar frets are level, eliminating any possibility of fret buzz due to unevenness. 6. Radius the guitar strings Most guitar necks have a contour over the top of the neck. We adjust the strings to make sure the height of each string follows the contour of the guitar neck. 7. Adjusting the overall guitar string height and the action Once we set the contour and radius of the guitar strings, it’s time to adjust the overall height of the strings from the top of the frets to the bottom of the guitar strings. 8. Set the guitar intonation This step is done twice. The intonation is set two times with a 24 hour "seat-in" period in between to allow the guitar to properly re-seat to the new adjustments |

| You know that Haywire Custom guitars offers "Pro" high-end guitars, but if you were a Professional Guitarist looking for this type of product, you'd need to understand why to choose Haywire over some of the larger competitors. The real value that Haywire offers is its small-scale with greatly individualized attention to customers, detail and playability to enable pros to play a guitar packed with lots of attention and details of what they need and want, rather than, say, settling for an unready guitar "off-the-rack" in a Mall music store, should the guitar be sub-standard in it's ability to play smoothly and trouble-free. We are experts in that area. Pros can rely on an instrument that they receive from Haywire Custom Shop. It will be exactly to their specifications. Our guitars are just like the larger-scale companies, but contain the same or upgraded quality components they want at a more reasonable price with the added assurance of a ONE YEAR warranty on our finished work. |
