The NT neck is simply the most efficient, practical, structurally sound, and sonically transparent way to attach the neck to the body. This process allows us to precisely control both the angle of the neck and the relative distance between the guitar’s top and the fingerboard face. What does this mean to the player? A setup with unparallel precision and "goodbye" to the days of sanding or shimming the saddle. R. Taylor necks feature two-piece construction: the neck itself, and a glued-on, beautifully matched heel block.
