<p>I found out about the technique from talking to a local luthier. He was showing me a ukulele body and I asked him how the neck attached as I could see it would be difficult at best to put screws in from just the sound hole.</p>

<p>Very nicely done, that joint will be more than strong enough.For those worried about the box splitting or deforming - reinforce it.</p>

<p>Anyway, your points are taken. I was just proud of adding another technique to my bag of tricks. If I were building a six string that would be a whole 'nother ball game likely involving a truss rod as well.</p>

<p>Exactly what I was thinking as well AG That notch in the box needs to at least be 1 1/2 for me to fell comfortable with it and it does nothing for bracing the box. Through the box is fine but a compromise on both mounts is better. ;) </p>
