Did you use stacked pots since you didn't have room for the standard four?

good lookin CBG... nice solution to box being a little short. Question: How thick is the wood that you installed to attach the bolt on neck too? My concern is how well it will hold up over time. Please give a report after 100 hours of play time. Good Job! the best, Wichita Sam
