    Do you know what make this is? I am not too sure what you mean by neck brace. Maybe the metal piece that sets the neck to the correct angle on the dowel stick?

    I think he is addressing that question to the OP. His is an open back and he is looking for the neck attachment hardware.

    Pic of the instrument's back showing the neck attachment would be helpful.
