Take the window out and put a license plate on it!

I have made two of those Kuba Deluxe boxes into guitars. Just make sure the plastic window is secure so that it does not buzz. The lid is a little thick to get good resonance, so I made mine with piezos in them.

 

One of mine I gave to Shane and I think it is hanging on the wall at Speal's Tavern now.

Okay, good to know.

 

I also have a 1915 Maine license plate, but not sure I want to affix it to something.

I am feeling lucky, the local shop sells them 3 for $5 and they donate the money to charity.

My local shop sells them for 3 dollars each too - but ever since I gave them a nice finished cigar box guitar to hang on their wall I get all the free boxes I can carry. Might be worth trying in some of the expensive shops that like a fancy decorations too.

The owner asked me to bring the CBG in when I get it done.  Sounded pretty interested in what I was doing with the boxes.
