The neck is straight and square. Trust me. I'm a CBG builer.

The neck was in a canjo that just did not have much sound volume. The can is now a pencil holder, and the new diddley sounds pretty darn good.

I used a found piece of iron that Chris Lyons gave me for the saddle.

Will gift the diddley today to a nice guy who has a 3 string from me and a little boy who might have fun with the diddley.

The photo made the neck and box look crooked. Trust me on that. I am a CBG builder.

Wes, next to air guitar, one strings are my best talent.

Pick, I raised the glasses on the low ear with bubble gum.  Looks straight and true now.

I have to agree, Eric.

LOL, Alan.   Good advice.

Advice given to me as young Bricklayer by an Uncle!, if something doesn't look straight, to really appreciate it, you must stand back and blur your eyes :-)

It's a diddley who cares how straight or square the neck is. As long as the string gets from point a to point b. IMHO That's the fun

if you wear  glasses and one ear  is lower  ,  your eyes  look  level  to    us  ;-)

Crap, Pick.  You almost ruined my day.  I checked it out and one eye is higher.   Now I have to walk around with a  slight head tilt to the left to even things out.

nice  .  neck is  fine  ,,  one of you  eyes  must  be higher  ;-)

Well, shit.  Maybe the neck and box are not square.  But it sure plays and sounds good.   I knocked this baby out in PDQ time.  And had fun doing it.
