Good round of tips to help avoid common problems that are often discovered too far into the build process.

I would suggest this video should be added as a link in the how to build a CBG 101 area.

Good job Dan!

Listen to this man.  This is all important instruction.   Those break angles are so important.   Learned (learning)  that the hard way.   Finger board above the box top.  Neck angle - got to say I do best with just a tiny bit like you did here.   String retainers!  Vital stuff and explained well.  

I do like to reinforce the box and to have the board though the box a bit thicker and often cut some relief for the box to vibate.  My stuff is not the prettiest, but it plays!   Thanks, Dan.
