wow! looks great! I always wondered...how do u keep the neck supported? with the string pulling...u would think it would snap the box.

once again....very cool!
The neck actually goes all the way through the box... Some guys even have them come out the other side. Mine is notched out on the oak neck and part of the box so it all snuggled together with some gorilla glue.

There isn't any stress on the box this way. Weird it even works my Nan, but it does!

Thanks for the comments everyone... This project was a fun one.

Mike you may want to get a hold of J.D. or Steve from Drew Estates. They may be interested in the first ever Flyin Pig guitar! It would look great in there villas where all the guys stay on the cigar Safari!
