Guitar with reinforced neck joint and contoured heel

摘要

The guitar is formed with a guitar body, a neck and a connector securing the neck and body together. The body and the connector have trailing edge portions which lie at an angle to the guitar axis and sweep rearwardly for providing a contoured area behind the neck to thereby facilitate access to the higher fret notes. In one embodiment, the connector is an extruded aluminum member having an upwardly projecting neck flange that is visible from the front adding a decorative effect.
