In acoustic guitar construction there are several ways of joining neck and body. In electric guitars, and in particular solid body models, there is only one principal method (discounting neck-through construction) with two variations. A pocket is routed in the guitar body and the neck is either screwed or glued to the body.<\/p>\n

The thickness of the guitar at the junction point is shared between the neck and the body, approximately 50% each.<\/p>\n

Our butt joint method maintains almost full thickness of both neck and body at the junction point.<\/p>\n

As the neck is twice the thickness in the region of the junction it is less subject to flexion caused by the pull of the strings.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The junction between neck and body is reinforced rather than stressed by string tension.<\/p>\n

The transmission of energy between neck and body is optimal thus having no potential detrimental effect on the sustain of the instrument.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
