ABSTRACT:
An acoustical guitar having a hollow main body forming a sound box and defined by top and bottom walls joined by a side rim. A long cantilevered neck is attached to the hollow main body adjacent a head end thereof and projects outwardly therefrom. A headblock arrangement at the head end fixedly attaches a heel end of the neck to the hollow main body. The headblock arrangement comprises a one-piece U-shaped headblock positioned between and fixedly connected to the top and bottom walls at the head end. The U-shaped headblock defines a concave recess which projects longitudinally inwardly of the hollow body at the head end. The neck projects into the concave recess with the heel end of the neck disposed within the recess and fixedly secured to the U-shaped headblock. A pair of access spaces are defined by the recess on opposite sides of the neck. The hollow main body also preferably includes a recessed tailblock assembly having a removable cover disposed over an opening which opens into the interior of the hollow body.
