ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a string instrument having an instrument body and an extended neck, with strings running from the body to and over a portion of the neck. It includes an outer section of the extended neck and an inner section of the extended neck, these separations being separate from one another. The outer section has a first end and a second end and has string attachment means at its first end. The inner section has a first end and a second end and is connected to said body at its first end. The instrument also includes a connecting member located on the second end of the outer section of the extended neck and a second connecting member located at the first end of the inner section of the extended neck which is adapted to removably connect with the first connecting member in such a manner as to connect the second end of the outer section with the first end of the inner section in a tight butt-to-butt fashion. Preferably, the string instrument neck sections are of a length such that the body and the inner section have a length equal to that of the outer section. In one embodiment, a threaded rod and a ferrule are employed a the connecting members.
