Abstract
A guitar neck incorporating a mechanism for adjusting the degree of straightness of the neck's elongated body is provided herein. The mechanism incorporates a lever and tension-compression system to perform the neck adjustment. The lever and tension-compression system includes a platform and a driver connected pivotally to each other in end-to-end relationship. The platform acts as a lever, and the driver creates tension and actuates the lever. The platform and driver are mounted longitudinally of the neck in a groove (slot or passage), the upper and lower wall of which are adjacent to the platform. Pivot points are provided, preferably on the upper and lower walls of the groove, and cooperate with the platform in achieving the proper lever action.
