Abstract: An adjustable neck-body joint for a guitar-like instrument is disclosed. The instrument includes a main body portion and an elongated neck portion having at least two threaded apertures formed transversely therein near one end. The main body portion includes a recessed portion for receiving a mounting frame adapted to receive the one end of the neck portion. The frame includes respective apertures formed therein for generally aligning with the threaded apertures when the one end of the neck portion is received by the frame. Threaded fastener means extend through each of the frame apertures into cooperation with the threaded apertures for frictionally securing the neck portion to the frame. The threaded fasteners are smaller in diameter than the apertures formed in the frame such that, when the fasteners are loosened, the neck portion of the instrument can be adjusted relative to the frame. The frame is integrally secured to the main body portion of the instrument by a plurality of threaded fasteners.
