<p>I have an old wine box that I want to eventually make into an acoustic git. In my head I'm picturing a full six stringer, but we'll see what I come up with when I finally get to that particular box.</p>

<p>That's an interesting approach! I had thought of that. Since I'm using a rod piezo I can just not install it and play it some and see if I'm happy. If I want a different sound, just open up the box, drill for the rod piezo and volume and close it back up again.</p>
<p>It also simplifies it since I don't have to build the amp also.</p>
<p>It does mean I need to drill sound holes but I like the look of them so I was going to do that anyways.</p>

<p>Oh I will! How does that work here? In the Jeep forums I hang out in people have "build threads" where they document their progress. Do we do that or just post finished product?</p>

<p>Yes, just supported at the front and back, not the sides. Is any wood good enough? I have a bunch of cedar left over sitting out in the yard. Or do I need a hardwood?</p>
