I'm trying to build one, but I'm worried that screwing the neck on (like a cigar box instrument) will be too much for the coconut body. What would be the best way to attach the two?

How about a neck stick like on the old time banjos?

High strength epoxy might work fine. It will fill minor gaps between the coconut shell and the neck.

I second Michael's suggestion. Dowel sticks or rods, or perch poles as some folks call them, work for gourd banjos so they should work for coconuts.
