Review: Perfect for a solid neck to body connection. - I recently built myself a custom Stratocaster with a black limba body and solid rosewood neck from Warmoth. These guitars are referred to as having bolt on necks when they actually use wood screws. That term has always bothered me. For a better, more solid connection these inserts are perfect and the guitar will actually have a bolt on neck. A solid neck to body connection is crucial for tone transfer and this method is considered superior to just using wood screws. It's a little tricky getting everything aligned properly before drilling the holes for the inserts but measure twice and drill once is the way. Clamp the neck to the body and use the e strings as alignment guides and you can't go wrong whej pre-drilling the holes for the inserts. I recommend gluing these inserts in with a good marine epoxy for maximum hold. Review: Better than brass or zinc - I had struggled with brass versions of this type of inserts and the zinc variation with the hex drive. These tool included with this kit ensured alignment and the stainless material didn’t deform like the brass. It was cheaper to buy two kits to get the quantity of inserts I needed. ## Features - Installation Kit With Inserts, Drill And Driver - Quickly Install With Included Tools - Brass, UNC Threads - Provides a strong machine thread in wood - Designed For Use In Furniture, Cabinetry, Storm Windows and Marine Applications ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B015CAPM9Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,814 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #7 in Helical Threaded Inserts | | Compatible groove diameter | 0.25 Inches | | Date First Available | September 14, 2015 | | Fastener Type | Insert | | Finish Type | Brass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00847554007457 | | Head Style | Flat | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Item model number | 400-4-CR | | Manufacturer | EZ-Lok | | Maximum Shear Strength | 550 MPa | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 8 x 2.9 x 1.1 inches | | Shape | Round | | Thread Size | 1/4"-20 | | UPC | 847554007457 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** E-Z LOK - **Color:** stainless steel - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8 x 2.9 x 1.1 inches - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Size:** 1/4-20 ## Images ![E-Z LOK 400-4-CR Threaded Inserts for Wood, Installation Kit, Stainless Steel, Includes 1/4-20 Knife Thread Inserts (6), Drill, Installation Tool - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AZYs3-MML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for a solid neck to body connection. *by T***L on September 14, 2023* I recently built myself a custom Stratocaster with a black limba body and solid rosewood neck from Warmoth.

It was cheaper to buy two kits to get the quantity of inserts I needed. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much better than the brass ones from hardware store *by R***N on July 23, 2021* I am putting these in a piece of Mahogany for a guitar project in working on. I first tried some brass ones from a local hardware store without the tool. The top area shattered each time and I had to extract them. This kit with the tool has gone in so much easier each time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/34223012-e-z-lok-400-4-cr-threaded-inserts-for-wood](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/34223012-e-z-lok-400-4-cr-threaded-inserts-for-wood) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
