Taffy Evans replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Pick up mounting under the top

"Hi again, I have had guitars in for repair that have had the pole pieces coming up through the fingerboard at the last fret area—just another example.
Taff"

Taffy Evans replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Pick up mounting under the top

"Hi, all my six string cbgs use old reworked six string necks and have never gone through the box. I like to keep the inside as open as free of "stuff" as possible. But I do use a more substantial neck block and heal.
Taff"

Carl Floyd replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Pick up mounting under the top

"I would think most 6 string CBGs do have neck thru design. Mine sure does."

BrianQ. replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Pick up mounting under the top

"I thought about that afterwards, but that's generally what happens when there's nothing more than a vague question without a pic to give an idea?"

Carl Floyd replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Pick up mounting under the top

"Yes, in the past, I saw one that just had holes for the extra long pole pieces to come through the top. Thought I saved the pic, but I could not find it. I liked the look. Would work on a deeper box for extra neck reinforement, since the pickup…"

Taffy Evans replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Neck angles

"Hi, this neck angle question has cropped up a few times and I have addressed it, but I'm unsure how to direct you to those discussions. I'll give a brief overview. First I determin the scale length, and then position the bridge on the box, or…"

"Jerry, have you tried searching the pics section for reference?"

BrianQ. replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Neck angles

"Yes & no, all instruments will benefit with some degree of back angle, but you can get away without it using cbg style hard tail bridges if the fretboard height is raised 1/4" above the box top or you will get fret buzz? "

Neck angles

I.want to build a couple of CBG'S with Hardale bridges, do I need a back angle on the neck?

BrianQ. replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Flat tops vs. flatwounds

"Forgot to mention stainless steel flat wounds, sometimes called "chromes", they're even warmer & louder than the traditional nickel, they also last longer & cost a bit more? But well worth the extra cash? A lot of the modern metal players are using…"

BrianQ. replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Flat tops vs. flatwounds

"Half rounds are ground on the top & are bright like regular round wounds, but have reduced string noise? Mostly used to get rid of screechy string noise while recording? On the other hand, flat wounds are ground all the way around, have a warmer…"

"What's the dimensions of the box?"

Taffy Evans replied to Brown Water Jerry (Rice)'s discussion Help,

"Hi, it would be good to know how you overcome the pickup mounting question. How did it go?
