Are all CGB necks available in the shop compatible with all the CGB kits ?

Posted by Serge Hulne on June 24, 2013 at 3:25am

Hi,

I would like to know if all CGB necks available in the shop are compatible with all the CGB kits ?

Can you mix and match just any sort of kit with any type of neck ?

For instance, is the following kit:

https://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/cigar-box-guitar-kits/basic-cigar-box-guitar-kit-with-how-to-guide.html

compatible with the following fretted neck ?

https://www.cbgitty.com/cubecart/cigar-box-guitar-neck-hard-maple-with-basic-headstock-and-fully-fretted.html

I am asking this question because, if I understand correctly, the kits do not by default include a neck.

Thanks !

Serge.

    If I understand your question; in all my builds each neck is custom-built for each box, because boxes came in all sizes.The only time I think it would be different is if you were building multiple guitars from the exact same sized boxes.

    From what I can see from all the details at CBGitty I would say yes. I use a 25 inch (635 mm) scale length and this works fine with these boxes that are advertised. I also make my whole neck length about 900 mm in length (this allows me to cut off any excess if required) which is a little under what CBGitty is selling so again I see no problems and both kits should work fine together. Just remember to make sure your bridge sits nicely towards the back of the cigar box before cutting any timber.

    Cheers

    Marty
