Hi I finished a one string cigar box diddleybow a few weeks ago with a broom handle neck! For my second build I'm planning on sticking to the same style but with 3 strings! I used a jubilee clip as a bridge for my first build but that won't work for a 3 string so besides putting 3 screws as the nut a screw for each string what other ideas are out there bearing in mind it's a broom handle neck!

Not bad would like to see how it looks in real life has anyone a pic of finished CBG like this?

here's one  of  teds    ,  done a bit  differently 

Helix

Looks pretty cool!
Cut a groove, and install a standard bone, Corian, plastic, or metal nut.
That might be easy enough to cut a groove, defo getting some good ideas where to go with this thanks guys!

another  option  ..  use  2  poles 

Yes that is another option I've seen a few alright but not too sure if I like the look of them but that's just my opinion, also would be a little more challenging to fit the two to the cigarbox!
O ring clamp
Is an O ring clamp the same as a jubilee clip like in my photo? If not can you explain what it looks like? As jubilee clip fine for one string not so good for 3 string!
