<p>The entire build was designed with sustain in mind. It's not built with conventional materails, and sustains very well with its own unique tone brought out by the piezo. </p>
<p>Yes indeed the wings stop neck dive!</p>

<p>Another benefit of interchangeable side pieces is the extra weight to offset a heavy neck that often plagues Cigar Box Guitar/Bass builders.</p>
<p>Some people say that the added mass helps with sustain too. YMMV </p>

<p>This body and neck only was a facebook market place find for $20.. Body was ruff but the neck was good. Body is mahogany.</p>
<p>Branson is not so good at used gear oddly enough Most of my finds are coming from a 50 mile radius on FB marketplace.</p>

<p>I guess living close to Branson you probably have better pickings for donor guitars. I managed to score a strat copy for $50 a few weeks ago but bass guitars are few and far between here in Houston area. Thanks for posting the six string build. It is awesome too.</p>

<p>Thanks Bob ! It took about a week on the body, and a solid day wiring it up. The neck and hardware are from a doner bass. So far I have 2 guitars and 2 bass,s made using my construction technique. 2 are traditional cigar box shape, and 2 with body surround. All feature piezos and mag pickups ran through a blend pot. </p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Kool, I’ve actually seen a few guitars built that way, I just don’t remember where? Great outside the box build</p>
