    Looks good.  Good idea on the box size and centered pasta piece.

    Sorry, no plans..I did a quick sketch to figure out the size of the box, I had a neck blank already laminated, and then made it!

    dig it!  do you have the plans... I've been wanting to build myself a bass.  So far I have built 5 cbg's... I want to try a Diddley Bow and a Bass.
