Cigar Box Guitar Headquarters - CBG HQ
Got one of these....now what am I gonna do?
Kickin around the idea of building a 6 shooter for my Dad since the 3 stringers just piss him off. Came across this jewel on the bay.....http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l25...
I've got no idea how I'm gonna mount it....sure it will be an adventure. Any of y'all who have played with this style (acoustic) of neck on a cbg, jump right in...
The attached pics are just examples...I gotta neck only.

mount it to box and go...
i've got two of those oahu squarenecks that are whole, but that neck came of one with a larger body, the parlor sized ones are slotted.

Mounted the neck to some maple blocking using "nut-inserts" and 1/4" connecting bolts. Worked like a charm!
The neck was a lil short so I had to find a larger box and rework a fret board for a 23" scale.

Neat looking build. with short of a neck would you still need a truss rod?

Mark, this neck had no truss rod in its previous life.....and it carries on without one....

If 3 stringers just pisses him off, I'd suggest therapy,... 'cause music won't help.

He's played 6 stringers forever. I played drums. When I discovered CBG's and just had to build one....I built him one....he never really loved the 3 stringers, he noodled around on it but he sat down and went right to playing this one.
Part of it ( with the first one) mighta been the toothpick frets and high as crap action.....naw, I'm sure it was the three strings.
