Those do make awesome looking guitars. Like you though, I don't think I need eight of them! LOL

buying singles, postage is the problem.... I have one that I could sell you for $ 5, but you'd have to do postage... proabably another $ 5 for parcel post, maybe a little more for priority...

the best,

Sam

Yep, the postage is the problem. I'll find one in cigar store someday. I check them when I travel. Not as if I'm going to run out of boxes to build with.

I think they are a little small for guitars, but work great for Ukuleles. Some have build guitars with them though.

They just "O.K." I've always installed a piezo and with a little help with volume the tone quality is fine. My first weedwacker bass was built on this box and it turned out great....

the best,

Sam

10.99 for shipping is a ripoff. gotta watchout for these guys who try to squeeze extra profit in the shipping...

Yep, makes that a $20+ cigar box, to much for my blood. But I think a lot of people charge a "shipping and handling" fee knowing that is where they will make their profit. OK by me as long as I know ahead of time and them I can decide whither I choose to pay it or not. I have bought multiples when I figured with shipping it comes to no more than around $3 per box. Than I hope to sell the extras and soak someone else!

They went for $41.50 with the shipping that puts them close to $9.75 per box! Coarse some can be sold to get part of that back, plus they make neat UkUleles, make some, sell them. get all your money back plus.
