I'm converting my 4 string Cigar Box Guitar into a 6 string Cigar Box Guitar (by changing the neck out), more specifically a 6 string Cigar Box Guitar in Bb (it's tuned a step below a Normal Guitar so D, G, C, F, A, D).

When you tension up the strings does it? not cause the whole thing to kink at the neck connection? The idea of passing the neck through the box is it acts as a structural brace ?

Awesome tutorial dawlin, I'm a luthier from N.O.L.A - The City - as they say, but was captured in Mississippi. This video is bad ass. Short, get's right too the point with all the important time saving measurements & information. For the neck bolt, did you use a threaded insert with a machine screw? Or wood screw with wood glue?

So the bridge isn’t attached to the box top in any kind of way? It’s just held in place by the pressure from the strings? No one in these videos ever goes into how the bridge is attached.

That is correct Robert. This style is called a "floating" bridge and it is not fastened to the box top.

how secure is the neck with this method? i have a found neck that might be adapted to this method of attachment and save me the problem of finding a box big enough to fit the bridge on. thanks a great idea...
@Cbgitty

In our experience it is quite secure. Gluing the box shut makes it part of the stability as well. We only use this method with lighter-gauge "high open G" strings though, so it might not be effective for heaver-gauge wound strings for Low G.

I have made several of these bolt- on's after watching this video. The fretted and fretless slide versions I've made were all at a longer 25" scale and strung with A, E & D (0.46, 0.36 & 0.26 gauge) nickel wound strings. I haven't experienced any bending, warping or cracking of the necks or boxes. This technique really makes a build a lot faster and easier than the traditional method. It also essentially leaves an empty box except for the the reinforcement pieces (I do reinforce the sides with some smaller pieces also). The emptier box seems to resonate much better and also provides a lot of room for your pickups, wiring and sound hole placement options. I also make my own boxes which are just 1/4" poplar sides and 1/8" birch tops & bottoms (which are reinforced at the bridge and pickup positions). I have used both, the hard tail 3 string bridge and the threaded bolt with a tail piece style. Either way, they sound great! I hope this information may help some people when questioning if this method is secure or not. I say, "Give it a try". Thanks for the video Farley/C.B. Gitty!

Nope they sure aren't... and they don't need to be on an acoustic/electric instrument with a simple piezo disk pickup.
