(57) A Strat style guitar is provided with a bolt on neck (108) using a mounting arrangement which provides enhanced rigidity, while at the same time allowing for unrestricted play of the neck's fingerboard (110) at the neck's base end to achieve higher octave capability. The neck mounting arrangement includes a metal plate (136) secured to the base end (126) of the neck and the guitar body (102)within an extended cavity (138).
