This shows a method of calculating which heel shim will cause a specific change in the action (string height). This is not meant for beginners; this is meant for more experienced technicians who want to increase their accuracy and precision while decreasing their bench time when setting up Taylor guitars.
I have heard tell, and know from my own experience, that simply making an educated guess as to what shims to choose, bolting the neck back on, tuning to pitch, and then checking the action, often leads to time wasted doing it over, sometimes several times. This can be particularly problematic when dealing with a 12-string that needs a fairly major correction. The method described in this video makes it possible to get it right on the first try.
