Abstract
A neck for an acoustic guitar made from a plywood material which is glued with and at least partially impregnated with a phenolic resin. The plywood neck is stronger and more durable than conventional neck structures and requires no further finishing steps during manufacture other than sanding and buffing. Preferably, a fingerboard made of a high pressure laminate material is adhesively secured to the neck. In addition, a bridge made of the same type of high pressure laminate as the fingerboard is preferably attached to the soundboard of the guitar body.
