My first CBG, uses the stick thru neck design. As shown in the video, I made the relief section of the neck by cutting a bunch of slots in the wood, then chiseling it out so that the lid has room to vibrate.
Its effective, but I'm interested in a more precise way to do that - any suggestions?

If you have a table saw, you can use a dado blade, or a band saw could cut your relief...
Based on input here, and my own experience, I don't cut a relief. I do dado out to the thickness of the box lid, though...
I too have been struggling, and getting frustrated, with this... so much so I am thinking of changing the way I build. Here is an article with an interesting option I may switch to in order to avoid having to making a notch out for the box lid.

I have tried a scroll saw, coping saw, multi-tool, etc... I haven't found a silver bullet. I am just as curious as you to see other replies.
So I found a few resources on the inter-tubes -
Glenn Watt using hand tools, probably the way Ill have to go - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W6A38lMgJ0
Using the coping saw might make things a bit more pleasing to the eye as opposed to the hammer and chisel method.
And here is Shane Speal using a table saw and DADO blade (maybe santa will bring me a table saw for Halloween) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foGzpLHYhfc
Hello
I am not sure what you mean by "stick thru neck" design. Also not sure which video you are referencing.
Understanding what you have for tools and skills would help to get you suggestions., but this page might help you.

Do you have Gittymans CBG Manual?
Thank you for the reply, I am very familiar, what I was not familiar with was the phrase "stick though design".
Q
I heavily rely on a rasp when I build my necks.
