The Taylor rep mentioned that your action should always be adjusted with neck angle, not the saddle height. You can do it if you have some basic mechanical/guitar knowledge, and you're careful. I'll let these guitars get their action lowered at a Taylor authorized repair center. Yes they have the NT neck joint and use the Taylor shims. (compensating with the neck angle of course). The tech evidently wasn't a real Taylor tech. General Acoustic Guitar and Amplification Discussion. All he did was shave the saddle down-- too far IMHO. Jon. I got various shims from Taylor after telling them my target action. I have one pack of mini shims - you are welcome to them (you pay shipping) as I no longer have a mini and have no use for them. Got ya Howard. 2015 Taylor Baby & Big Baby Neck Shims User Name: Remember Me? I have shims for all my Taylors. I'd recommend checking with him for availability of shims. I have a 2006 GS, and I'd like to install a slightly higher saddle to improve tone, but I don't want the action that high. But of course I do, so that's what I'm doing - adjusting the neck angle. In addition to the NT neck, they have the new ESB pickups and I don't feel like messing with the saddle either. That isn't correct (if I understood what you wrote.) It definitely improved the tone and volume, but now the action is high again. Is it ok to stack these shims? General Acoustic Guitar and Amplification Discussion. (The current neck angle is the way it came from the factory, new). It is the relationship between the sizes of the two shims that changes by model. I believe Taylor guards their shims pretty closely. Attended the Road Show last night and spoke with the rep. Upon my request, Taylor sent me a set of shims for my Big Baby. The factory shim is a 16. A setup was included with my DN3 when I bought it. Would you happen to know if the GS Mini and Baby Taylor share the same type of shim? If I understand you, you are keeping the standard height at the fretboard, and installing a taller bridge? They sent me 24, 26, 28 and 30. As you said, only difference is the length. Shims are all the same. Seems a bit impractical, unless you own a Taylor, which has a bolt on neck and shims. Initially, he turned kind of pale and looked concerned, but once i explained what I was doing, and that I've been a repairman for several decades, he relaxed, and told me to email him, he'd send me some shims, no problem. Taylor have a few different shim types, dependant on the model of the guitar. I'm in need of a new shim for a BT. The shims for the GS Mini are a smaller physical size than for my standard Taylors. AGF sponsor Marc Babin/Babin Guitar Repair is an authorized Taylor repair center. There is only one shim on these models under the fretboard tongue (there is no heel on these necks). Thanks for the replys. I put an off-the-shelf bone saddle in it, and it brought the good string break angle back. Laid the mini over the standard. I would like to alter the neck angle, just slightly, to allow me to do this. Hey Howard. Charter Member : Join Date: Jun 2011. Troisnoir, I have done a little bit of repair work, (shimmed the neck, truss rod, bridge work) and found raising or lowering the height off the fretboard does indeed affect tone.
