This one stayed on my site less than 4 days.

Not only was it traipizoidal, the thickenss at the neck was 3/4" smaller than the tail.

In Bill Jehle 's book, One Man's Trash: A History of the Cigar Box Guitar, he discusses how experimental prototype guitars could be quickly built out of trapezoidal boxes but still retain the sound characteristics of a standard shaped guitar. In the 1930s, Supertone produced a guitar called the Hill Country:

I have the second box, no problem with the shape it is the size I am not keen on. 7"x7"x2 3/4" (looks smaller than the one above if the printing is the same). Not sure what to do with it yet, maybe make it into an amp.
