A process for the integral molding of a stringed musical instrument neck and fingerboard comprising: wrapping a strip of fiber-reinforced plastic composite around a neck insert in a neck mold having a substantially U-shaped cavity, the U-shaped cavity having sufficient width to receive therein the fingerboard across its width, the fingerboard so received being in accurate alignment with the neck insert, and the amount of plastic composite being sufficient to form under pressure a bonding surface above the neck insert for the fingerboard, placing over the U-shaped cavity of the neck mold a pressure plate releasably bearing the fingerboard right-side-up on its undersurface, and pressing the pressure plate against the neck mold with the fingerboard inside the U-shaped cavity thereof, such that the fingerboard is bonded to the upper surface of the strip of plastic composite with the accuracy of alignment required of an instrument having musical properties.
