CB Alyn Guitarworks instruments have a specially designed neck to nut

relationship which keeps the E strings in the playable area of the

neck, instead of sliding off during an "inspired solo" . Every one of

our guitars is set up at the factory to play effortlessly. With an

incredibly detailed fret job and action that is less than 3/32th of an inch

at the last fret, these may be the best playing acoustic guitars in the world.

 

Another important, but seldom realized, factor determining the

sound quality and sustain of an instrument is the neck to body joint.

Our neck to body joints are machined to such exacting tolerances

that they almost become one piece of wood. However, two

different types of wood for neck and body produce a better

sounding instrument. The body can be made of richer tone

producing woods, while the neck is made of hardier woods. We

individually match bodies and ecks before they are painted. After

the body is painted, the neck joint is again checked for a perfect fit,

and any residual paint is removed from the neck pocket for a

perfect wood to wood connection. We've chosen to join our necks

and bodies with the stainless steel bolt on type of construction because

this creates a "constant pressure" union for outstanding sustain and

tone, yet allows replacement of the neck should that be desirable.
