Abstract
An attachment mechanism for selective attachment of a stringed instrument neck to a stringed instrument body includes a recess formed in the body with a first part of a latch mechanism. The neck includes a capture block at a forward end thereof adapted to fit snugly within the recess of the body and having a second part of the latch mechanism. With the neck seated in the recess of the body, the neck may be pressed down until the first part of the lock mechanism engages the second part of the lock mechanism to lock the neck into the body. A threaded bolt traversing the body may be included to engage a threaded aperture formed in the neck to further secure the neck to the body. A removable bridge and carrying case may be further included.
