<p>While you are still planning consider building in an angle to the neck to give you a higher bridge this will give more downward pressure from the strings = more volume…<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306534177?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306534177?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></img></a> <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306535684?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306535684?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></img></a></p>

Thanks very much for this information it will help me to decide how to proceed.<br />
<br />
I am in the process of getting all the components together before starting, as individual items will effect measurements and positioning.<br />
<br />
Take Care<br />

Many thanks for the replies, and Wayfinder I am intrigued by your 2new neck mounting methods, as every time I think I have it planned out in my head,I then see where the internals of the neck are better not touching the front and back of the box thereby cutting down on the resonance.<br />
Also routing a well for a pickup, needing the internal of the neck to be beefed up.<br />
So knowing the best way, would be great.<br />
Thanks Phil.

<p>That will work just fine... And still give you larger string spacing than a standard guitar.</p>

<p>I thinking 1.5" width by .875" height as many necks start out with a 1.5" x .75" stock with an added .125" fingerboard but .125" thicker shouldn't be a deal breaker unless used by someone with small hands?</p>
