I used a 1 1/2" wide x 1" thick oak neck, strings 6,5,4 from a medium acoustic pack and tuned EBE.  The scale length is the same as my Fender Acoustic somewhere between 24" and 25".  The guitar has been tuned like this for over a year and no visible change in the neck.  There is no laminated finger board.  I just burned the fret lines into the neck with a soldering iron.

It also holds its tuning for a long damn time without need for adjustment.

Hope that helps.

Another advantage to using all the wound strings from a set is you still got three consecutive strings to use on another too, I used to do this a lot in my three stringer days..
Also if any of u lot ever seen any of my three pair jobbies, I do those with a regular set of guitar strings 10-46 for g and 12-52 for d or e

Precisely why this one is EBE with 6, 5, 4.  My first guitar was also EBE but with 3,2,1.

We get the ebbie ebbies when we get them both together.  :P
