Abstract
An elongated string support for a stringed musical instrument includes a finger-board surface having a bass side and a treble side and extending between a proximal end and a distal end relative to the stringed musical instrument to support strings in close proximity thereto. The finger-board surface follows a longitudinally twisted path with an angle of twist increasing progressively from the proximal end to the distal end and the finger-board surface has a non-uniform radius extending between at least either one of the bass side and the treble side and one of the proximal end and the distal end.
