ABSTRACT:
Improved neck structure for a stringed instrument which utilizes fiber-oriented graphite composite for formation of an elongated T-bar element that serves as the rigidifier and primary part connected between the instrument body and the peghead. The neck structure further utilizes a plurality of pin-connected frets which do not require transverse scoring or grooving of the fingerboard portion of the neck structure.
