This is box #2 made from a produce crate found under my house in the crawl space full of fruit jars. #1 (a fretless ukulele) and this girl came from that crate. Both have pickups under the bridge inside. I make my own necks with poplar and get great fret boards from Mike Orr.

Check out some old crate wood sometime. The graphics on the old crates is usually fun and the sound they produce is bright. You can make a big box with the width of the wood. 4 inch sides, 8 inch top if you laminate two pieces together. I use the thicker end wood for the shoulder and tail. I've been seeing nice crates in the antique shops for about $20.

I made a. New video of this old crate wood guitar. Feb. 2019 called Blue Goose.
The goose is cool.
Nice build Dave! Wow! March of 2012! How long have these things existed? ;-) {JK!}
I've got a couple wine crates I figure can bee good for several box CBG's ("crate box guitars"?)
Looking back to my second box guitar. It still plays good and remains uncracked or bowed..
I missed this one before, Dave and I like it. But with you involved, fowl play is suspected.
