electric cigar box guitar neck help

When building an electric CBG using pickups, is there preferred way to mount the neck in the box?  Can it be mounted to the bottom of the box?  Should it be?  When I built my first two CBG's, I used a neck through design where the neck went out the back side of the box with a single board of 1 x 2.  Now I want to make the neck larger as it goes into the box as I've seen on many samples, but I want to know the best way set up the neck.   

Thanks,

Brian

  • Hi Brian. Take a look at this guide I made a while back. It has a neck design which is nice and strong, and there is plenty of room for pickups etc.
