Video from 4 years ago... but your teachings are timeless! I made up a 4 string CBG and the strings was too high. I sanded the botton of the bridge, no big deal. I set the back angle and the strings sticked above the fretboard. I was going crazy without solution. Watching the video, it came to the light the obvious: The back angle itself doesn't work without a higher bridge to line the strings correctly with the frets. Every correct adjustments done, it worked! Once more, thank you Mr Puckett!

Thats the most important thing to do! Remember always to set the action like, that the strings dont touch other frets while playing...

Great video Del, I don’t know how many times this topic has come up on the cbg forums👍🏼 It’s always easier to show how to do it, rather than explain how? Thanx for sharing,hope you had a great holiday☃️

Struggling with my first build right now. I used a dowel and can’t seem to find a happy balance between the nut and the saddle. Also difficult to mount the tuners in a dowel. Things one should consider before their first build.

If you've got a hand plane, you can plane a piece of scrap wood to get shims of different thicknesses.

It looks like as you make your way from the nut that some of you frets are farther apart instead of closer together. Example: fret #3 & 4 look closer than #4 & 5. Is that an illusion? It doesn't look like you were using pentatonic scaling.

Great video - would you show how to tune it and place the saddle so its angled correctly to make it's in tune all the way up the fretboard? Thanks a bunch:)

When putting the straight edge on the nut and the quarter, does your straight edge touch any of the other frets?

If the neck is straight and there are no high frets, that shouldn't be possible.

Del me darlin' boy*, this is action beyond the call of duty, posting on Christmas Day. For which, thanks. I've been sending mine out with a bit of 80-grit sandpaper and a slice of mahogany veneer. User supplies elbow-grease. *It's OK, I'm allowed to do this, I'm Irish.
