A stringed musical instrument comprises a neck, a body and a neck joint. The neck has a heel comprising at least a wedge. Correspondingly, the body has a heel slot at a neck joint location along an upper bout of the body. The heel slot is complementary to the heel of the neck and includes a shaped pocket that corresponds with the wedge of the neck. The neck is attached to the body such that the wedge engages the shaped pocket of the heel slot and the neck is fixed to the body, e.g., using an adhesive.
