The neck was in a canjo that just did not have much sound volume. The can is now a pencil holder, and the new diddley sounds pretty darn good.I used a found piece of iron that Chris Lyons gave me for the saddle.Will gift the diddley today to a nice guy who has a 3 string from me and a little boy who might have fun with the diddley.The photo made the neck and box look crooked. Trust me on that. I am a CBG builder.

Advice given to me as young Bricklayer by an Uncle!, if something doesn't look straight, to really appreciate it, you must stand back and blur your eyes :-)
Crap, Pick. You almost ruined my day. I checked it out and one eye is higher. Now I have to walk around with a slight head tilt to the left to even things out.

Wes, next to air guitar, one strings are my best talent.
Pick, I raised the glasses on the low ear with bubble gum. Looks straight and true now.
I have to agree, Eric.
LOL, Alan. Good advice.

It's a diddley who cares how straight or square the neck is. As long as the string gets from point a to point b. IMHO That's the fun
if you wear glasses and one ear is lower , your eyes look level to us ;-)

nice . neck is fine ,, one of you eyes must be higher ;-)
Well, shit. Maybe the neck and box are not square. But it sure plays and sounds good. I knocked this baby out in PDQ time. And had fun doing it.
