I was looking for some 'coaching' advice on neck dimensions for a 4-stringer...I can imagine it gets old being asked the same 'how do I...?' questions by countless people...I do try to check plans first and search first, but a few things typically happen; I find many distracting things, I don't find what I'm looking for, I don't understand what I found, or I have 4x as many questions afterward!

Some things I realize, WTH, it doesn't MATTER, just do ANYthing.

I got some red oak back today from a coworker with a surface planer, and he told me why it was unstable and what resulted...

So now, whatever I wanted to ask you is subject to me revisiting your photos, remembering why I decided you were the expert to accost with beginner's questions, and determine if I'm now better off going back to an open forum post for multiple answers, because I have banana boards...I think the ready-to-run questions I had planned for you may be kicked back a few stages.

But thank you for the reply and willingness to help...

At 4:40pm on February 15, 2010, Bluesheart said…: Good to hear. I guess I tend to think a top needs to be thin to sound good acoustically. Did not take the weight of the wood into account, but it makes sense. Thanks for the info, great looking CBG.
