The Ultimate Neck Heat Tool for Professional Guitar Repair
This professional-grade neck straightening iron is designed for luthiers and experienced guitar techs who need a reliable, precision-controlled way to correct warped, twisted, backbowed, or over-bowed necks.
Built and tested at Player’s Gear in Gas City, Indiana, this tool is engineered to handle the toughest neck repairs — safely, evenly, and repeatably. It’s not a hobby tool. It’s a shop-quality, heavy-duty iron made for those who repair instruments for a living.
🔥 Purpose-Built for Neck Work and Fretboard Removal
The Player’s Gear Neck Straightening Iron allows you to apply steady, controllable heat to the fretboard and neck of electric or acoustic guitars and basses for:
-
Neck straightening and warp correction
-
Gentle fretboard removal for truss rod or neck repairs
-
Loosening fingerboards for inlay, refret, or reset work
Used correctly, this tool can save necks that would otherwise be unrepairable — a game-changing advantage for any professional repair shop.
💪 Overbuilt for Reliability and Control
This isn’t another lightweight aluminum gimmick. The body is made from 14-gauge high-temperature powder-coated steel, chosen for its slower heat transfer. It heats evenly, holds temperature longer, and cools gradually — reducing thermal shock to the instrument.
Every unit is tested to reach and maintain 250°F with no issues, giving you full range from gentle warmth (~165°F) to deep-penetrating heat (~250°F) as needed.
The included temperature controller lets you fine-tune heat output for delicate fretboards or stubborn maple necks — offering precision and safety that cheaper tools can’t match.
⚠️ Professional Use Only
This is a serious tool. It gets hot — hot enough to cause burns or damage if misused. It’s meant for trained luthiers and repair professionals who understand how to apply controlled heat to guitar necks.
Used properly, it’s one of the most effective and profitable tools in any shop. As many pros have found, it can pay for itself after just a few repair jobs.
