To shim the neck means to angle it?

Basically, yes. This also raised it a little at the very back end of the neck in the neck pocket. Now it's all good.To shim the neck means to angle it?

You can use pretty much whatever. Credit cards, if you'd want to cut yours in pieces, haha. I don't know, what my tech was using, though. Didn't ask him.Thanks!
So they just put like a thin slightly v-shaped inlay in the neck pocket to do this?

Enjoy!
Oh word. I never had to do that with any of my other Ibbys, so I got a bit confused. The guitar plays great now. I still have to fine tune the action a bit, I think, but it works well for me.every Ibby 7 I've ever owned (except for 1) has needed a neck shim (even my J-custom).
that's a very common thing with bolt ons I wouldn't worry about that.
How's it play now that it's set up , that's what we want to know
I found out, that I prefer the sound of the DA7 set, compared to the Evo7. The D Activators are a tad tighter and clearer, especially on the lowest strings, while the Evolution can get a little muddy. The difference is anything but huge, but I think I'll swop the Evo for a D Activator soon.now that you have it set-up and had a PU change: how does it compare to your RG1527M?

The setup on my RG1527 is a hair better, but that's nothing, one couldn't work out with a bit of adjustment. Bottom line is, I love them both and the Prestige is not immensely superior. I'd recommend it!
I'd guess, it's the other way around. None of the Indonesian crafted Ibbys have a 430mm radius, that goes for the entire Premium series as well. I can't imagine this to be different with the RG927 only.On the European site the fretboard radius says 400mm, on the US site it says 430mm ?!
I suppose the 400mm on the European site is a mistake?
