Best regards,

Chuck

At 11:32pm on April 2, 2012, Michael Fred Johnson said…: You're about these boxes,though I did have one with an MDF top so that one is just electric

At 3:27pm on March 27, 2012, Voodoo Highway said…: Hi! Thanks for your friendship! The Gold box does have a thin top. I planned saving that for one that I was going to build for myself. It is nice to know that it will be a good sounding box.

Take care,

Tony

Hippy - "welcome to our addiction!!! I built my first one in may of 2011, and now I have 25 of them in my house--and I have sold/gifted about a half dozen or so--and I have about 50 more boxes on the shelf"

Thanks Hippy Chip!  Ya I see large quantities in my future... I HOPE!  Dude, Boxes are hard to come by up here in Woodhull for some reason. I've only got 3 other boxes and been looking for more at cigar shops, friends, etc... I'll find a gold mine soon!

At 1:45pm on February 4, 2012, Vinylhed said…: Thanks chip. That's interesting on the sound hole front.

At 2:08pm on January 7, 2012, Dan Sleep said…: You are absolutely correct about the placement of the bridge. But, when I make a particular instrument that I know is destined to be a primarily amplified instrument, I like to place the bridge somewhat closer to the tailpiece for cosmetic reasons.

At 7:14am on December 23, 2011, Chris Cremeans said…: my first build was a three string with a tin can body tuned to the bottom three on a traditional six string. I have four more boxes and wood for either one guitar neck or three uke necks. The local convenience store has agreed to give me their boxes

At 3:12am on December 23, 2011, Chris Cremeans said…: It is a lot of fun I finished my first build yesterday and have plans ready for more!
