Guitar Gizmos

On most guitars the Space Trainer works fine "first time" without any adjustment, but just occasionally people have a problem with a specific guitar. Although we've designed it to be as universal as possible, it is impossible to ensure that Space Trainer will perfectly fit every one of the thousands of guitars available, all with slight variations in neck size and profile.

However, the plastic we've used for the Space Trainer allows it to be easily adjusted for unusual neck shapes and sizes.

Adjusting the Space Trainer

Simply heat the neck clip for a minute or two with a hairdryer on hot setting* and you will find that it is possible to gently bend the clips slightly, either closer or wider. Just hold in place for 20 seconds or so while the plastic cools and the new shape will be retained. The most common adjustment is simply to squeeze the clips in slightly, for a tighter neck fitting. Do not try to bend the clips without heating, or they will simply spring back to their original shape.

For deeper section necks, it is also possible to bend the bottom of the U shape of the clip, to give a little more depth when needed on particularly deep profile necks. This is a bit more tricky than just adjusting the width, but is quite possible with a little care.

*We wouldn't recommend doing this while actually fitted on the guitar! Take it off, adjust, wait to cool then try again. Repeat until perfect. :)
