My Uncle-in-law kindly gave me some oak and elm to use for CBG necks, and cut it to size. Annoyingly I told him slightly the wrong dimensions, I wanted 45mm x 20mm but told him 40mm x 25mm. Will these dimensions work ok for a 3-stringer or will the neck likely be too narrow? I can at least take the depth down a bit easily enough if needs be.
You need to be a member of Cigar Box Nation to add comments!
Excellent, I should be ok then. I come from playing ukuleles so tighter string spacing is more natural to me anyway. I think the 25mm thickness will need taking down a bit anyhow.
You'll be fine. I do 4 strings that tapper from 40 at the nut to 50 at the tail. Check out the head shots I posted today and you will get a good close view of the spacing.

Getting the tuners to fit without a wider headstock was interesting..lol
like 32mm wide.
wow, at 40mm you sould have lots of space!!
i space my strings at 1/4 inch from each side, and the third right in the middle.
you'll be fine.
