Legra Guitars are designed using sound engineering principles and are made to exacting standards of fit. Each neck is hand made and matched to each individual body to give a precision fit into the neck pocket, a crucial feature where sustain and acoustic coupling are concerned.
The neck is attached by means of a unique six-bolt system through brass inserts in the body The six "Spax" screws produce a very high clamping load, well in excess of that required to simply hold the guitar together. This feature, combined with the interference fit in the neck pocket acoustically couples the neck and body giving a lower, single resonant frequency unlike some other bolt on systems where the neck and body are effectively decoupled. The absence of a flat neck plate also allows a more ergonomic form to be used at the neck / body interface.
