Abstract
The present invention is directed to a string device in which the neck is selectively positionable between the body and the head of the device in order to allow a musician to select the appropriate neck for the instrument in accordance with his desires and musical needs. The neck includes a finger board which can be formed from a material different from the neck, and metal bars such as frets can be positioned on the finger board. The necks cannot only be easily replaced, but the neck or handle is adjustable under the chords or strings even while it is attached to the body and the head of the instrument.
