ABSTRACT:
A neck construction for attachment to the body of a guitar, or similar stringed instrument, which includes a headpiece, elongated neck and means for attachment to the instrument body, all formed as a unitary metal casting, only the fretted fingerboard being an initially separate piece. The elongated portion has a unique configuration, including a lower curved portion with an integral upper wall consisting of flat, planar portions extending inwardly from the edges of the curved portion to spaced, opposing edges. The fingerboard is affixed to the planar portions in covering relating thereto and thus to the space therebetween, to define an enclosed chamber along the majority of the neck's length, which is of uniform shape and thickness, tapering gradually outwardly from the head toward the end attached to the body. The attachment may be integral, i.e., by forming the neck and body as a single piece, or by other securing means when the neck and body are initially separate.
