My 5th build. The neck I used, & the neck from the last CBU I built, came from an Ebay purchase I made a couple months ago. Both included a pre-inserted dowel in the heel, ready to slap a cigar box on. 2 for $20 bucks. Sounded like a hell of a deal to me. The last one I made played great & sounded even better. Very low action with a banjoey twang to it. This one...not so much. The wooden nut has very thin grooves for the strings. The thick C string doesn't fit well & buzzes like a SOB, rendering it pretty much unplayable. Plus it's an old neck, so I'm a little weary of making any fixes to it. But I think it looks cool! It definitely has that depression era feel to it. The headstock reads "Buckeye Brand". I googled the company, but couldn't find any info. If anyone knows the origins of this neck, please share. Sorry for the long winded description :)
