ABSTRACT:
Described herein is a method, and its associated article, for forming a neck for a stringed musical instrument having a hollow, slotted torsion rod disposed therein to function as a straightening force or to counteract the tension and bowing or warping effect of the instrument strings. The method comprises providing a longitudinally extending opening along the length of the neck of the instrument complimentarily formed to receive a slotted torsion rod, the slots being disposed to the bottom or back of the instrument neck. An end of the rod, preferably the end not connected to the instrument body, is provided with a tightening means for the rod to counter the warping or bowing forces on the instrument neck by the tightening of the strings.
