Abstract
A body structure of an electric guitar of a solid type is constituted by a body and a neck, which are firmly joined together using adhesive and/or bolts. An engagement hollow is formed over the entire length of the back of the body, and an extending portion is integrally extended from a base portion of the neck with a smoothly curved portion therebetween. The base portion of the neck is engaged with a rectangular hollow formed in the front end portion of the body, and the extending portion of the neck is engaged with the engagement hollow of the back of the body. An adhesive bank channel is formed in the periphery of the bottom of the engagement hollow to prevent an excess of adhesive from overflowing and dirtying the backs of the body and neck when joined together using adhesive.
