<p>A joint between a neck (12) and a body (2) of a stringed musical instrument is described, wherein a neck receiving cavity (10) in the body has a sloped major bearing surface (20). The sloped major bearing surface urges the neck laterally into a side surface (18) of the neck receiving cavity as a connector (44) pulls the neck into the neck receiving cavity. By urging the neck (12) into a side surface of the neck receiving cavity, a second bearing surface is made in a different plane than the major bearing surface, which makes a more rigid joint between the body (2) and the neck (12) of the musical instrument.</p> |
