The mast is made up of the neck, which is the structure that joins the mast ring box in the rear; the tuning fork, which is the area of the mast from the neck until the end; the frets, which are thin strips of metal that make halftones; plug or top deck, which receives the strings for the zone in which tighten call headstock by means of the 6-pin. In the case of the electric guitar, it contains microphone and controls volume and sound, instead of an ear or mouth; Besides the frets, has position markers on the fretboard and headstock tip, has a neck tensioner.
