Carbon fiber exhibits so many of the qualities useful in fine instrument construction — namely, low weight, stiffness, stability, resistance to fatigue and creep. Its low weight and high stiffness makes it three times stiffer than steel on a weight-to-weight basis, 80% as stiff on a cross-sectional area comparison – offers many advantages to the guitar builder.

Neck reinforcement can be laminated in such a manner that the reinforcement continues through the peghead joint, reducing flex and therefore reducing energy loss to the head area.

Dimensions: 3/16" x 3/8" x 18 1/8" (4.74mm x 9.5mm x 460mm)

Generally used on electric guitars, banjos, and other mid-neck length instruments.
