I thought of that, but these are set in type necks--so they sort of have to be set in the box to look halfway decent. I'd have to measure the neck exactly when i get home, but there is a good 4-5" of it that should be "set in". And I'd like it to play well without amplification, so that moves the bridge away from the edge. I have an Arturo Fuente King that should be okay, but it's so thin I'll need another to stack on top of it to get the proportions to look decent.

I have used Camacho boxes with a 26.5"scale, works great.

15.5 x 9 x 3.5

Yeah, that'd be perfect, if I could find one.

11 inches is more than big enough, I've made a 34 inch bass guitar using a Biscuit tin that measured 11.5.

your 24.75 scale necks will fit on there very nicely, I've just finished using a 7 inch Tin to make a guitar with a 24.75 scale length (granted it had 24 frets). you'll be fine with the 11 inch box, trust me
