I have a buddy who does precious metal exchange, and each month he trashes about 20 beautiful wooden chests. Many of them have feet, and are dove tailed boxes--beautifully made.

Obviously too heavy for a guitar, but does anyone have an idea of have to recycle some 240 wooden cases a year?

Thanx!

Indeed , amps  ,  bass ,  stomp  boxes etc..

 or GUITARS  .

Bless your heart. But if you pulled that out at my house, I think I would want to find a new set of Bicycle cards and probably dice too.

Nice repurpose though!

lol  . the guns are the  only things  not  "loaded  "  ;-)

but  yeah  . they  make great  guits  .  and  size   aint  much of an issue  .  bigger   usually  means   deeper warmer  tone  .  ;-)

Less issue with neck dive too.  Of course having 2 pistols around ensures that everyone will like what your playing. LOL

I would like to be a fly on the wall when someone yells "Freebird!"

or  "smoke on the water "   lol. ;-)

"Stairway........" its ok  . i will let myself out...lol

That git is made for Skynyrd's "Gimme Three Steps..."

Some Jewelry Boxes will make good guitar bodies too. 

The classic twirling ballerina?

Sure, why not. Maybe you can fix it so the little ballerina twirls to your music.

I got a Silverware box today at the Goodwill Store for 50 cents. I picked it up and noticed that it didn't have a price tag on it, so I took it to the cashier and asked her how much. She looked at it and said, 50 cents I guess. So I dug out the change and bought it. On my way out, she asked me what it was. LOL Guess that's why it was only 50 cents, they didn't know what it was.

The box is a dark Walnut stain and measures 14&1/2" X 10&3/4" X 2&3/4".

Thinking about a couple of Filtertron type HB's, F- holes, 6 strings and a whammy bar.
