Ronald C Hi, the Fender American Performer does not have a micro tilt at the base of the neck but I wouldn't let that stop me from buying this guitar. I've been playing for 40 years, I perform 99% of the maintenance and adjustments on my guitars and I've never needed a micro tilt which is nothing more than a convenient way to shim the neck. Personally I'm more comfortable taking the neck off and shimming it the old-fashioned way rather than using a micro tilt that rest the entire guitar neck bottom on a single point on the body of the guitar. I own four different stratocasters, a jazzmaster pro, a jaguar pro, a telecaster and a duo Sonic and many more over the years, I've never had to even shim a neck because I keep them in good working order and care for them. I own two of these Fender American Performers and they both play amazingly well right out of the box with very minor adjustments if any. I hope this answers your question. Just to give you a heads up I've purchased more than 25 guitars from Adorama with fantastic results and customer service, well worth purchasing from them. Sorry if it sounds like an advertisement put on the big advocate of Adorama because of how great they are to me service wise and price-wise. Ron C.
