Boy, when you go to work... you'll "go to work".
Inline it. :)
How does the box sound when you tap on it? How thick are the panels on the two sides?
sorry Wes that first reply was meant for you it is 3/4" thick

Hello Greg,
In general, steel reso are quite heavy. They basically work like speaker cabinets. Solid, heavy and stable the sound is not absorbed by the cabinet, but shoots out the cone. When my frined, Jimmy built my large CBG reso, he had to make the box thinner because it was too wide. Mine is only 3 1/2" deep. Personally I think you should consider going forward. I bet it will bark like a cannon. Enjoy.
Keni,
If you say it will "bark like a cannon" then I am in. I was just thinking about the comfortability, It might be a little awkward and heavy, but sound is the most important thing to me. I want to take my time with this one and build it right. I am starting on another build to get some practice in. It will be a paint can reso with a hot tea assortment box body and bed slat neck. A 3 stringer. I will post some pics as I go along with it in a different thread. Thanks for all of your advice here.
