Hi, I'm HazelFyrebird, and I'm a wannabe luthier (I feel like I'm standing up at a Builder's Anonymous meeting...) in Virginia.  I'm a bit of a lurker, as I've been reading and reading for a while,…Continue

This is not so much of a reintroduction as a rebirth so to speak. I joined Cigar Box Nation many, many years ago when I initially developed an interest in more "primitive" instruments, CBGs, mountain…Continue

Roy, go to my photos and you will find many shots of neck throughs. I would show some here but there is no place to link to my photos in my comment box.
Comment by Roy on June 30, 2016 at 2:12am
Can you guys show a picture as example please. Always wanted to know how others are doing this.
I use run thru neck with blocking
Thanks

Thanks Dave that's kind of how I feel too. Just always nice to.have confirmation. I put a block under neck about half way. Under bridge makes sence
Comment by Dave Lynas on June 29, 2016 at 3:49pm
I think the neck through is most sturdy. I like to leave some vibrating room between the neck through and top. At least a quarter inch. Sometimes I put a sound post under the bridge between the top and neck through. Then everything is sturdy.

Hey yall newbie Dirk Bauer from Wimberley Tx. New to this this posting stuff so if I repeat forgive me. Question I have is do most prefer add on neck or through body. Which seems to be the most durable. I want to know all I can about building a great guitar I have a lot of building experience but always looking to improve. Thank yall. Dirk
