ABSTRACT:
A stringed instrument, such as a guitar, with a neck and a body, is constructed to provide a stiffened neck adjustable to compensate for bending due to string forces and also to provide a sound, easily made connection, between the neck and the body. The neck is an assembly including a metallic stiffener embeded in a main neck part and carrying a tension rod. A nut on one end of the rod tensions the rod to control bending of the stiffener and of the remainder of the neck which is fixed to it. At its lower end the stiffener includes a rearwardly extending heel through which the neck is firmly connected to the body.
