  • Patent number: 8426709
    Abstract: Adjustable neck-angle joint for stringed musical instrument, directed to the technique and the way of joining the neck (12) and the body (13) of a stringed musical instrument. The two parts are joined together with the use of screws. At their contact points they include a convexo-concave formation (15), (14) which provides absolute contact between the instrument's body (13) and the neck (12) with the ability to rotate laterally in a predetermined manner. Thus making possible to change the angle between the longitudinal axis of the neck (12) and the longitudinal axis of the instrument's body (13). The neck (12) is changing its angular position relative to the instrument's body (13) regulating the space between the strings and the upper surface of body, as well as the asked force on the top an acoustic musical instrument or the body of an electric musical instrument, by its strings.
