I've been toying with the idea of making a git with one of those large book boxes they sell at Barnes and Noble. Problem is, I think they are just pressed cardboard, so they might require an internal wood stiffening frame to handle the string tension, and maybe a mag pup to boost what would likely be a soft acoustic tone. I think there are a coupla such gits here somewhere buried in the thousands of pics...yep, here's one:
