Hi Dirty Roger.

I was thinking of using a lunch box last summer, but rejected the idea because I felt the handle of the lunch box would rattle as you play it. I had a similar rattling problem when playing one of my CBGs with a shoulder strap on that wasn't being used. The metal clips of the shoulder strap would rattle on the eye bolt while I played the instrument. The cure was either to wear the shoulder strap or to remove it. Anyway, I was wondering if you had seen the same kind of rattling problem when you played your lunch box 1-stringer guitar?

Yeah the handle does rattle a little but i kinda like that, when you play your arm mostly dampens the handle so its not really an issue. You could always take the handle off or dampen with some tape.

Glad you like it!

Nice work. Love the idea of a guitar with it's own carrying handle. The action looks pretty reasonable to me so I'd say stick with it. When I started out I thought I needed a really high action to be able to play slide but with practice I can now manage with something quite low - tho' I guess you might need it higher if you want to play with some welly.

Yeah the action is to low to play with a slide, but it sounds mean like this
