Anything will do for a Box.
Got a nice Xmas present. A strong cardboard presentation box with 4 small Whiskey bottles in it.
Drank them by Boxing Day and thought the box was too nice to throw away.
Built a wooden box inside it and made a very pretty CBG. Sounds good with a Piezo pickup. Can even hear it Acoustic although I could not find anywhere to put a sound hole.
.
The other one is just a plain old Cigar Box. with my new Tester.

That's a cool looking instrument and a clever use of a cardboard "cover" and a wooden insert , it`s given me an idea , we have a really cool box a pair of wine glasses came in , might just do the same , great having no rules eh ??

Finished my tin of Quality Street Chocolates and am well on the way to producing
my next tin CBG. Just cannot seem to get Cigar Boxes these days. If you see one the owner wants too much money for it.
So I will use anything I can find now.
