ABSTRACT:
An adjustable, accessory neck member configured for interchangeable attachment to an instrument body as part of a stringed instrument. A neck body includes a top surface and an opposing back surface. A rigid, elongate bar is disposed within a channel formed within the neck body. An adjustment screw is rotatably engaged within an adjustment end of the rigid bar. A flange is attached to a first end of the screw and is sandwiched between the back surface of the neck and a mounting plate secured to said back surface. A small access hole is formed in the top surface in substantial alignment with the adjustment screw. A user inserts a screw turning device into the access hole to selectively rotate the screw. When the screw is rotated in a first direction, the back surface prevents movement of the screw in a first axial direction to thereby cause controlled displacement of the adjustment end of the bar in an opposing second axial direction. When the screw is rotated in an opposing second direction, the mounting plate prevents movement of the screw in the opposing second axial direction to thereby cause controlled displacement of the adjustment end of the bar in the first axial direction. The neck member is thereby adjustable independent of attachment to the instrument body.
