Hi Jon, Thanks for the comment. The neck strength seems fine, it's still all in one piece, but since it's a ukulele scale neck with only three strings it probably doesn't have too much tension to fight. I tried to keep the rim of the top in one piece because I thought that would keep the top from bending too much. You can see in the CBG2_Neck picture I took a big cut out of the neck to accommodate the top rim. It was my fist try and I think I'll do my next a bit different. It sounds good to me and I like to play it. I guess that's all I was really going for.
I like this one because the top of the can is faced the right way and seems to be holding the entire neck. Can you explain the design because I'd been having all the tops on the bottom...seems a waste with some nice tins. How's the strength of the neck when built like yours?
