<p>Great lookin' git, Taffy. Thanks for the detailed building process series. Your time and effort should be very helpful to many builders, both novice and experienced. Your gits are much more detailed and involved than my typical 3 stringers and basses, but the knowledge is a step towards better builds. Thanks again.</p>

<p>Well all done and set up for slide. I'm pleased with the outcome having played it for a week now.</p>

<p>Hi all, This next stage is about fitting the neck. It's a bolt on neck that was unsuitable for the guitar it was originally fitted to so it already has screw holes in it. I wanted to use those same holes so I had to transfer their spacing to the neck pocket.</p>
<p>In the last photo's you see me using a jig to line up the neck to the bridge, this is what I use for my full size guitar builds, so I thought I would try it here. I use a simpler version for 3 string necks.</p>
<p>Any way…</p>

<p>OK, here I will cover the fitting of the neck. When I build my own box I have all the parts worked out and I know they are going to fit and work. But with things like an actual cigar box or a tin of some kind, one has to get creative.</p>
<p>This neck block was designed just for this box, keeping in mind the quality and strength of the box and the fact that this is a six string slider.</p>
