Can someone explain what this is?

"4-Bolt Neck Attachment with Micro-Tilt™ Adjustment"

I noticed this little feature when reviewing the specs on my Strat, and because it's listed separately from the truss rod spec, it makes me think it's some additional method of adjusting ones neck. So, if this is true, I have no idea what it is or how to use it.

Thanks

Micro tilt is an adjustment that allows for minor changes to the angle between the body of the guitar and the neck. Best to leave it alone unless you are a seasoned setup pro.

Hi EvanPC,

Check here, scroll down to "SHIMMING/MICRO-TILT™ ADJUSTMENT". I agree with BMW-KTM, leave it as-is. :)

Micro tilt adjustments is easy to do.

The only purpuse of this is to change neck angle

Why change neck angle ? If your action is to high OR too low and you CANNOT fix it with bridge saddles set up screws.

IMO when I boug a guit with micro tilt, I cancel micro tilt and see if I can get a good action with bridge saddles. I f yes, with the neck flat on his pocket I have more sustain.
