Embodiment Construction

[0044] Such as figure 1 As shown, a stringed instrument 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention mainly includes a wooden body 2, a neck 3, a pick-up device 7 and an operator 8, the neck is fixed to the end of the body 2 along the surface direction of the body and extends Leaving the body 2, the pick-up device is used to convert the vibration of the strings 6 into electrical signals along the longitudinal direction of the neck and on the upper surface (or main surface) 2a of the body 2. Between the bridge 4 and the end of the neck 3 extends, and an operator such as a knob is used to control volume and tone quality. The direction for stretching the strings 6 (string stretching direction) coincides with the longitudinal direction of the neck 3 .

[0045] The above embodiment will be described with reference to a solid-type electric guitar having a solid structure in which the body 2 does not include a hollow cavity inside it; however, the present invention is appl...

Abstract

A neck joint structure which has an opening on the main face of a body in the thickness direction, which has openings on the side faces of the body extending in the thickness direction, and into which at least a part of the base-end portion of a neck is inserted is formed in the body of a stringed musical instrument. The neck joint structure includes a recessed end face which is brought into contact with the end face of the base-end portion constituting the base of the neck in the longitudinal direction and a recessed bottom face which is brought into contact with the main contact face of the base-end portion that forms a corner together with the end face in the thickness direction of the neck. The neck joint structure of the stringed musical instrument is equipped with a joint member fixing the body and the neck, i.e. a slanting joint member which is screwed into the body and the neck via the corner between the recessed bottom face and the recessed end face of the body and via the corner between the main contact face and the end face of the neck in the state in which the screwing direction thereof is slanted to the distal end of the neck in the longitudinal direction relative to the thickness direction of the body and the neck.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a neck joint structure for a stringed instrument in which the neck of the stringed instrument is fixed to a body. Background technique [0002] Generally, various types of stringed instruments such as electric guitars, acoustic guitars, and violins have been equipped with a through-neck structure in which the body and neck are formed from a single piece of wood, and the neck is bonded to the body by using an adhesive. The set-neck structure of the guitar and the bolt-on structure in which the neck is fixed to the body of the piano by using joining screws such as wood screws and bolts. Among these structures, the bolted structure is superior to other structures in terms of manufacturability and manufacturing cost of stringed instruments, and is easier to operate in replacing the neck and adjusting the warp of the neck than other structures because the neck is removable. detachably attached to the piano body.
