Taylor Guitar Neck Reset -- No Guesswork -- Once and Done

[@neilfradenburgh]

Thank you Barry! I have been scratching my head trying to figure the math for a Baby Taylor. That is only a shim under the neck, but the math works out the same if you measure from the body joint to the bridge end of the shim. Now I need to go search for other videos you have.

From what I've been told, the heel shim must pair up with a specific fingerboard shim. And as Barry said, the definer is "6" So whatever number shim you put in the heel the fingerboard shim is 6 more up. Example, if the Heel shim is #6 then the FB Shim # to use is 12, if Heel is 8, then FB is 14, and so on and so on. Is that right Barry?

I just did this to my twelve string, and when I got the neck off I noticed the heel shim was a #4 (0.095") and the pocket was a #-4. That is how it was from the factory. I calculated that I needed a #30 in the heel(.075") to get the correct angle, but I was always told the relationship between the two shims had to be a difference of 6. So I put a #24 in the pocket. Was that the correct way to do it, or should I have maintained the factory set-up and put a -30 in the pocket? any help would be greatly appreciated Barry!
