Cigar Box Guitar Building Tip: Neck Reinforcement with Humbuckers

Speal uses the traditional “through-neck” design in his cigar box guitars (also known as “Japanese spike fiddle” construction). This means the neck wood extends through the entire length of the cigar box and protrudes out the back. This allows the wood to double as internal bracing for the box and provides an easier way of building guitars.

Since the box rides the neck, there is little to no need to brace the box. Now, I almost exclusively build fender style pocket necks where then neck attaches to a headblock. In this design, the box must carry the "weight" (tension stress) of itself, plus string tension, plus all the weight of electronics, and the neck.
