GUITAR WITH NECK SETTING FEATURE

1 . A guitar with a neck adjustment feature, comprising:

a body portion having a first and second connection surfaces, the surfaces generally at right angles relative to one another;

a neck portion connectable to the body, the neck portion having a third and fourth connection surfaces for alignment with the first and second surfaces;

wherein the first connection surface lies in a recess formed in a front surface of the body and aligns with the third connection surface of the neck portion to create a connection between the body and neck;

a pivot formed at an upper end of the third connection surface, the pivot constructed and arranged to contact the first connection surface forming a pivot point between the neck and body in a manner wherein the body and neck are rotatable about the pivot point to form a predetermined angle therebetween;

a fret board formed on and supported by an upper surface of the neck and having a tail portion extending over and supported by the body; and wherein an underside of the fret board includes an unsupported section near the pivot point.

2 . The guitar of claim 1 , wherein the pivot includes a peak and a slope extending from the peak in a direction away from the fret board.

3 . The guitar of claim 2 , wherein the adjustable angle includes a first position wherein a gap formed between the body and neck increases in width between an upper and lower end of the gap, a mid position wherein the gap maintains a substantially uniform width between the upper and lower end and a third position wherein the gap decreases in width between the upper and lower ends.

4 . The guitar of claim 2 , wherein the adjustable angle includes a first position wherein the strings are in a higher position over an upper surface of the fret board, a mid position wherein the strings are in a lower position and a third position wherein the strings are in a lowest position due to the movement of the neck and body about the pivot point.

5 . The guitar of claim 4 , wherein rotation about the pivot point is accomplished with an internal adjustment member constructed and arrange to move the body and neck to any of a plurality of positions about the pivot point.

6 . The guitar of claim 5 , wherein the adjustment member is a threaded fastener accessible from an interior of the body via a sound hole formed in the top, the adjustment fastener in a threaded relationship to the neck portion.

7 . The guitar of claim 6 , further including a retention fastener, the retention fastener in a threaded relationship to the neck portion.

8 . The guitar of claim 7 , wherein the adjustment and retention fasteners are threaded into an anchoring member, the member disposed in the neck behind the third connection surface.

9 . The guitar of claim 2 , wherein the pivot extends across the width of the third connection member.

10 . The guitar of claim 2 , wherein the third connection surface includes an extension extending therefrom, the pivot formed on either side thereof.

11 . A guitar with a neck adjustment feature, comprising:

a body portion having a first and second connection surfaces, the surfaces generally at right angles relative to one another;

a neck portion connectable to the body, the neck portion having a third and fourth connection surfaces for alignment with the first and second surfaces;

wherein the first connection surface lies in a recess formed in a front surface of the body and aligns with the third connection surface of the neck portion to create a connection between the body and neck;

a pivot formed at an upper end of the first connection surface, the pivot constructed and arranged to contact the third connection surface forming a pivot point between the neck and body in a manner wherein the body and neck are rotatable about the pivot point to form a predetermined angle therebetween;

a fret board formed on and supported by an upper surface of the neck and having a tail portion extending over and supported by the body; and

wherein an underside of the fret board includes an unsupported section over the pivot point.

12 . A method of adjusting the neck of a guitar, comprising:

providing a body portion having a first connection surface

providing a neck portion having a second connection surface for connection to the first connection surface of the body, the second connection surface including a pivot formed thereon in a manner wherein the pivot acts on the first surface of the body to create an angle between the body and neck;

providing an adjustment fastener extending from the body to the neck, the fastener constructed and arranged to enlarge or reduce the angle between the body and the neck;

rotating the fastener to change the angle, thereby changing the height of strings above a fret board.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the fastener is located in the body of the guitar and is accessible via a sound hole formed in the top of the body.

14 . A guitar with a neck adjustment feature, comprising:

a body;

a neck with a fret board formed thereon, wherein an underside of the fret board includes an unsupported section; and

adjustable means between the body and neck whereby an angle therebetween is adjustable.

15 . The guitar of claim 14 , wherein the adjustable means includes a threaded member located within the body and accessible via a sound hole in the top of the body.

16 . The guitar of claim 15 , wherein the angle is created due to a pivot permitting separation between the body and neck at a predetermined location there between.

17 . The guitar of claim 16 , wherein rotation of the threaded member changes the angle.

18 . The guitar of claim 17 , wherein rotation of the threaded member in a clockwise direction causes a reduction in height of guitar strings above a fret board.
