Thats a real hobo guitar, if you leave it openable you can even put some clothes in there and hitch onto a freight car. : )

I think it looks cool. But will probably not be the strongest as a acoustic. I would stick with mag pups.

That looks like it could be the start of something real sweet looking. Get a neck to match the shade of those lines across the case and i think it could be an awesome CBG.

I dont know enough about the technical issues as to getting it to sound good but i would of thought its possible to turn it into a kick ass sounding beast !!

Good luck

AS thick as the wood is I'm not sure it would work acoustic, But have you thought about using it as the start of an amp?
It would probably have to be lectric to get volume. But it looks cool for SOMETHIN!

I agree.....bass drum it is. But, not saying it could NOT be a cbg.....it would be really big to play though.....but hey......no rules!. Go for it if you feel the need and make it a cbg.

The acoustic properties only really matter if you intend it to be solely... er.... acoustic. If you are gonna plug in, your amp will model the sound into something tasteful for you. Nothing wrong in cardboard CBGs either, they work great.

Yep, vintage tweed buskers amp would be neat though.

If you are unsure, send it to me ASAP :o)
