If you sand above 220 grit it will not take stains or dyes very well and be blotchy. Shellac is your friend afterwards before applying a final finish. A little table salt will add grip to help keep the glue up from sliding around and dissolves as the glue dries.

Wonderful job on the scarf joints and jig. This will help me tremendously on my neck setup. I saw other neck and headstock builds from a KZitem channel called Burrell Guitars, and his name was Moses. This guy videos were spectacular. I followed his blog for a long time and unfortunately he has passed away. So again, please keep up with your video builds because there is always an old crafter watching somewhere.

There are two ways to stack your scarf joints. You want the joint to be at the head connection, not at the fret board. Ask me how I know😄 Even with perfect alignment you can have a dip at the first or second fret. I had to use a jumbo fret on the#1 fret to lift it slightly upward. I was getting buzz that I could not get rid of till I put a straight edge on the frets and saw the dip above #1. Save yourself some possible headaches later. Make sure the joint is at the head, that way there is no chance of making a mistake. Some of you are probably finding this out the hard way, like I did.

I have had to laminate a thin piece of wood on top before. I'm planning another scarf joint video and the jig, that would be good info to include. Thanks. And thanks for watching.

That is a great question. It would take a lengthy reply to explain it well. I will do a video about this soon. Please subscribe and ring the notification bell so you know when it comes out. For a short answer. Cigar box guitars are predominately 3 string. There are 4 and 6 string and even 4 string bass cigar box guitars. The bass guitars usually use the same gauge and tuning as a regular 4 string bass, the tuning is EADG, I'm not sure of the string gauge of the top of my head. The 6 string cigar box guitar is usually tuned to standard guitar tuning, EADGBE, lowest to highest. The 4 string guitar can use the low 4 strings, or the middle 4, or the high 4 strings of a regular 6 string guitar using the same tuning as the guitar, EADG, ADGB, or the high would be DGBE, and often these will have a string tuned a step lower, like DGBD, a G major chord. There are lots of options. Three string guitars will use what would be the equivalent to the low three string of a standard 6 string, the EAD strings, and raise the A and the D one whole step, so you have EBE, and that is an open E power chord. When i string up for G, I use the ADG strings of a standard 6 string and tune the A string a whole step lower to get GDG, an open G power chord. For reference, a set of Electric Guitar Strings Light gauge is: Low E .042, A .032, D .024, G .016, B .011, High E .009. Hope this helps and isn't confusing. There are many options these are just starting points. Cheers.
