    My imagination

    normaly people use fretwire, draw or burn them in, or go fretless

    would the pin things on an acoustic guitar work to hold the strings on a cbg? (new to cbg’s)

    how i can i measure out the fretS?

14. MoosicDude, on October 18th, 2009 at 7:33 am Said:

    String it up and tune it then use a digital tuner to work out where the frets are, then simply mark it.

    I don’t get why people always go with the neck-thru design… I mean, I understand that gluing on a neck is a little more complicated, but wouldn’t the sound be a lot better?
    TBH i don’t really know, but I’ll be building mine within the next week, and it’ll be a “glue-on” neck

22. DustyPeople1, on December 15th, 2009 at 1:07 pm Said:

    Hey I’m going to be doing a glue on as well, good lick

23. omarcofarmerman, on December 19th, 2009 at 8:19 pm Said:

    Neck-through design creates sustain in the finished instrument. But if you’re doing an acoustic with the central sound hole, go ahead with the glue on model. Just make sure to reinforce your box or string tension might be a real bugger.

24. williamthomasmi10, on December 20th, 2009 at 3:04 pm Said:

    Ooh, never even though about sustain. I’m not too worried about that tho, I would rather have the better sound and power that comes with a “glue-on” neck and bridge.

25. migasaguiar, on December 27th, 2009 at 6:09 am Said:

    That’s because a thru-neck will handle the tension a lot better. stick with the thru neck, or else your instrument might fall apart in pieces.
