What's good everyone?
Wondering how to attach a neck to a cigar box..not a handmade neck I know how to do that..my neck is from an electric guitar neck my brother gave me. I took the guitar apart so I can make a 6 string CBG.
Anyone have any suggestions or photos on how to attach the neck?
Any info would be helpful.

I make them as a solid body electric guitar inside a cigar box.

Ted-
That's exactly how I thought I would do mine before I saw your pics. Just basically a square body that replicates the guitars layout with the box fitting over that body as a dressing if you will. It just seems A LOT easier to do it this way than to figure in angles, bracing and support. And I'm sure it makes it sound more solid, especially getting tone (which is what I am after... Fender tone to be exact!)
