Stepped neck Joint
This picture shows in detail the " Stepped"
or 'offset' neck joint I developed for
both the Medusa and Electra
guitar models.
The neck joins at the 18th fret on the bass side
and the 19th fret on the treble side
on a 22 fret guitar.
This method allows a very smooth and well
contoured 'heel' to the neck, especially
on the treble side, to allow for even easier
access to the top frets when the guitar
has 'offset horns'.
