Gotta comment again. Every CBG builder should watch this video!

Thank you so much!!!! Super informative!! I appreciate you bud!!

👍👍 cool false fretboard trick Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the informative Video ☺️

Very helpful Rob. I've struggled with those things.

Hi Rob, I sure like your foolproof method here. Thanks!

Awesome Idea!! Thank You! Of course it is goo to check the squareness of the box first as they make these boxes fast and cover up that they are not always square. I've even seen one with one corner thinner than the other 3 corners. That thru me off and made me think the neck was slanted to the top. LOLolol! but this Idea will still work with the neck in place.

I'm no my first build and I have the "center" marked, but I was concerned it would not line up properly. This is a great method. I also loved your intonation setup video. It's why I ended up getting a hardtail bridge.

Joe Hunter glad it helped you 👍🎸

Great idea, will try that on my next fixed bridge. Thanks for tip

Right on time! I am getting ready to do my 2nd hardtail. This should work better than my 1st one. Thank you Sir

This is the first Video I ran across by you. Well done. It earned your Subscribe from me. I'm shocked more have not subscribed. Good job.

I've done a few now. Just getting into the hardtail. Good advice. I'm gonna finish these 2 and then stop. It's not hard but I think I like the shovel guitar better.

Nice job

Groovy technique,thanks for the instructions

Cheers Rob love it, and get repeatability.

Looks like a good method to me. Do you add “wings” to the sides of the neck-through to make sure you have enough material (wood) to accept the mounting screws?

How do you drill the holes through the Box for the Strings?

I use a drill press with a 1/8” drill bit

On the inside, was the neck wide enough for the screws or did you have to add support on both sides of the neck?

You have to add wood to the side of neck 👍🎸

@@robscigarboxguitars4316 Thanks. I knew the cigar box wasn’t thick enough to hold the bridge down.

Are you able to show in another video if intonation is correct?

Think there is a video on setting up and intonation, I most often have very little adjustment to do, mostly setting the action or string height 👍

Ahhh, I was wondering if you had a wider block of wood on the neckthrough bit to screw the bridge down to, but since you have strings through the body to the back the strings aren't pulling from the tail so you can just screw the bridge to the lid (and not worry about the bridge being pulled off), right?

I have wings glued to side of neck for Bridge to attach too 👍

on a fretted neck, do you have the fretboard higher up off of the cigar box? if so how much? or do you do it the same exact way as fretless?

@robscigarboxguitars4316

Fretboard is a 1/4” higher than the box 🎸

That's a nice neck....do you make them or buy them?

Yes I make the necks and parts and build them 🎸👍

Taking your idea one step farther, couldn't you have separate jigs premeasured for the different scale lengths. Tape it in place with one end jammed against the nut and use the other end to set the hard tail as you demonstrate?

Thank you for posting this Rob. I used your information and a stick measured for the scale length as Henry Williams suggested above. It worked great! Doing it the way you demonstrate makes things go so much easier!

I'm defiantly going to try this method. Just out of curiosity... You used the word "beings" in your video. Now, I have only heard this word used in Iowa ( or there abouts ) Am I close? 😀
