hello,

Just wondering if anyone has used these. I have black and brown, they are roughly 2 feet or so long and 6 inches wide. They look like the whole box is rough cedar. I was just curious on the abilities of the lid being used as the soundboard...thoughts?

Lid could work, though mine looks thicker than I'd like.

I was thinking the same thing.

Hmmm. Bass, mebbe...

the black one I have might become a reso bass. I was thinking baritone on the others...{shrugged shoulders}.

The edge boxes are great!

The sides and lid are thick rough slices of cedar and he back is ply?
They've got a very nice warm sound IMHO, and more volume than you'd expect. I know ted also really likes these boxes

good feedback, thanks.

I'm glad to hear someone say that these Edge boxes sound good.  I'm in the process of making a 3-stringer out of a Battalion box and was wondering if the cedar was too thick.  I'm hoping to auction/raffle it off at an upcoming charity art event, so I'd really like it to sound good.

Jagged Edge finalYou're right PK, Ted Crocker does like them. This is one of his. I think it recently came back on sale at $995.

Ah well here's one mine :)

That's the stuff! Awesome!

nice!

I imagine the large boxes are the same, having similar wood.

Good morning, Colin. I used an Edge box like the one you posted the link to to make a stomp box. It works great.
