Shamsul Signature HSS | Neck

The Shamsul Signature HSS features a bolt-on Roasted Rock Maple Neck. Neck attachment is via four recessed socket head bolts that screw into corresponding threaded inserts embedded in the neck heel itself. Truss rod adjustment is facilitated by a spoke wheel at the butt end of the neck. This spoke wheel can be adjusted without removing the neck, thanks to a built-in access channel.
