Awesome. I'm going to add a bit more wood where I think it'll help and use either wood screws or small nuts and bolts. Thanks for the good advice. No wonder why you are so helpful, you are a fellow Canadian. If my first build goes well, I had thought about a Stompin Tom cbg as my second project.

<p>Screws are your friend Brent...you see in my pictures...from where I put my pup too the end of the box at the neck has 4x1 1/2" deck screws....and then there's more further down the neck ...It doesn't show that in the diagram....I had 2 in the pic...but it didn't feel safe for me...so I put 4...just like a bolt on neck(but only inside the box) and never had any issues</p>

My main concern was that if I did a cutaway to fit the pup, that it would weaken the neck. Have you ever had an issue with that happening? That's why I was thinking of keeping the cutaway far from the neck, near the bridge. Although I've seen countless cbgs with pup near the neck. I guess I'm just paranoid.

<p>Sorry I read your post wrong...Its entirely up to your taste too where you want your pup....at the bridge gives a deeper tone...at the neck gives a nice mellow bluesy/jazz tone... of course if your looking too get a particular sound, there are many other things too consider such as string gauge, are you using bone, wood or metal for a nut and bridge.....but its a cbg...there are no rules!</p>
<p>Here's my first 4 string, and my favorite...just after my Longhorn build that is. (got it right…</p>
