I never tweak my guitar necks. Jobs like that make me nervous so again, I leave it to the pros. My 70's Strat has the micro tilt neck. What happens if I put the little adjuster wrench in there? Does it move the neck up and down slightly?  |

The micro tilt on fender necks is made to adjust the angle at which the neck leaves the body. It's a common procedure to "shim" necks; put picks or cards or other little bits in the neck pocket to compensate for bow or alter action. The micro tilt just provides a cleaner, built-in method of doing that.

On mine (73 strat) it allows sideways movement! So if the guitar gets the slightest stress, sideways, the thing moved out of line:+(
I have it shimmed up so it won't move.
I also have it screwed out, so no adjustment made, and things are just right.
I must say, I'm a happy bunny as far as it's sound is concerned....(especially as it is now hum and buzzless, thanks to GuitarNuts) :+)

When using ANY of microtilt, remember to loosen the screws on the neck a touch. "Cause if you don't, you strip them, or the micro tilt screw.
