Bible box guitar. Can I play blues on this???

Just done today. top is thick, but it sounds pretty good acoustic. Action good, too. Darn, does not work electric.... Will have to go back inside.

Thanks, folks.  Linda, I got the box on ebay.  Complete with a bible.  I think $10 or so...    Jon, the fret markers are 1/4 inch walnut dowels.  Just drill a 1/4 inch hole, wood glue on dowel and tap it in.   Carefully cut it off close to the fretboard (I use a jig- reciprocating saw), then sand it down- I use a random orbital sander.  Pretty quick and easy, but I am still capable of screwing it up.  The cross was woodburned and is not real straight.

Looks very sharp - what technique did you use on the fret marker and cross inlays?

I'd love to hear a rendition of "The Devil went down to Georgia" played on it! Nice work John.

Wow, you did a super job on that! I guess you'll be safe playin' that Devil music now huh?
