Don't sweat the first one too much. You'll learn heaps by making it and your second one will be 100% better. Just start. Use cheap materials and and crappy looking box. Save your good stuff for when you have some more skills.

Add a string! The principles remain the same for all thru-necks. For a 4 string, I like a neck width of 38mm. That gives 10mm spacing with 4mm on the sides.
The problem with plans is that box sizes vary and scale length is a personal preference. You can go to my page and look through my pictures and get an idea and then keep looking at everyone else's stuff and you will figure it out pretty easy.

take a three string plan and add a string... presto... 4 string CBG.... don't over think it...
Sam, that is exactly what I was going to say, you beat me to it.
i agree with glenn in this case use your not so good boxes for your first attempts and as you gain some skills then use the good boxes

If you look at the top of the page in the middle, you'll see a mysterious link called "Free Plans" :)
All I see there is plans for a three string.

Thank you for the advice. I thought that would be the thing to do, but I wasn't sure.
