Looks cool, but that bridge might be alittle to heavy. A thin piece of maple might be the ticket.

Thats pretty much what it's all about. All you got to do now is find the songs hiding in there.

Judging from the picture, I'd go for 4 (or maybe 5) individual guitar tuners through the back of the headstock. Neat looking build! I'd love to hear it when it's done.

For the neck I cut out the wedge shape on a seperate piece of wood and hammered it and the neck together and glued a small piece over the bolt- so it was like one piece of wood all the way through the box and then I put the bridge on the end . hope…

Hi Spencer, Great CBG - I am always interested to see how people fix the guitar neck as I always use recycled necks off electric guitars. How did you fix the neck please? Also how did you fix on the extra length for the bridge? Regards, David
