still waiting out the plague :(
01/25/2023 at 18:55 • 0 commentsI haven't done much with this project except to mark the headstock wood to be removed. I also marked up the other neck I had and bought enough wood for five more cigar box guitar necks, so I might as well prep those, too, for whenever I can finally go make some sawdust.

here's what you've missed so far
01/16/2023 at 00:16 • 0 commentsI'll be typing up the basic instructions too, but here's what has happened so far:
- purchased a piece of maple 1x2 from Home Depot and had them cut it down for me into two 34" lengths and one shorty piece which I used for my very first CBG that doesn't count.
- lightly sanded maple to avoid splinters
- marked 6" from one end to make the headstock
- marked 24 1/2" from there to create the scale (where the bridge will go)
- marked the tailpiece
- notched the box sides beneath the lid where the neck will stick through
- used a mini hacksaw and a flathead screwdriver (and then a four-in-hand) to remove enough wood so that the lid will close
