I use both methods on Padron  6000 boxes and by relieving the neck under the sound board very slightly with a rasp except one inch at the front & back of the box where the neck is glued and the bridge area gives me just as good a sound.   I just finished a 4 string neck through Mandolin with Aquila Nylgut strings and it sounds impressive.  Maybe one of these days, I'll post a video.

Hi, I just finished my first CB Uke with pleasing results. I bolted and glued the neck to the body but everything bent with the strings on until I glued the lid (at the rear) making it all more stable.

I was thinking of the neck-thru next time for stability. Did you have success with this method?

Good luck!
