Abstract
A stringed instrument (10A) neck structure adjusting arrangement includes a cantilever member (39). One end of the cantilever member is configured to be connected, in use, to a body and/or neck structure of the stringed instrument. The cantilever member is configured to be moveable relative to a free end of the neck structure of the stringed instrument. The arrangement also includes an adjustment device (30) located at or adjacent a free end of the cantilever member. The adjustment device is configured to adjust a position of the cantilever member (39) relative to the neck structure, thereby adjusting curvature of the neck structure. The adjustment is in a plane substantially perpendicular to a main axis of the neck structure.

A stringed instrument neck structure adjusting arrangement including:
- a bending member, one end of which is configured to be connected, in use, to a body and/or neck structure of the stringed instrument, wherein the instrument is formed of at least two members forming a shell in which the neck structure adjusting arrangement is fitted within said shell;
- the bending member configured to be moveable relative to a free end of the neck structure of the stringed instrument, and
- an adjustment device located at or adjacent a free end of the bending member remote from the body, the adjustment device configured to adjust a position of the bending member relative to the neck structure in a plane substantially perpendicular to a main axis of the neck structure, thereby providing a force in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bending member and adjusting curvature of the neck structure, wherein a gap separates the bending member from the neck structure.
