I've been working on a new cbg out of a wine box.
what concerns me is depth ,its 3.3/4" deep.
considering in trimming it.to about 3"
what do you guys recon.
Tags:
deeper / bigger = bigger sound . id go with it .
3 3/4" is not that deep. It should sound good without being cut down.
Sure, do it. I’ve built a few pretty big gits, and I'm believe the depth definitely contributes to the full sound they produce acoustically. Not as comfortable to hold as a full size dreadnought, for example, but that’s due to the shape more than to the depth.
A coupla’ recent ones:

It will sound good. Lile a Mexican guitarron.
the pick up has volume/tone control,chinese made.
on the control thingy one has a500,b500 I wont know which one is which till I plug it in.
at the bottom of the box tail piece there is a fairly large scuff mark ,bare wood when I tried to get the horrible label off.
I was considering putting two holes there and put two small st/steel sink plug strainer,one at the mark bottom and one at the top.
or maybe one large one to rid that mark..
to be truthful I really dont want to spoil the lid as I think it looks nice as it is not over crowded etc.
this going to be a 4 stringer.
a fret board will be added ,this will hide the two screws that you see.
with that type of pick up I had to cut the neck in half but inside I put a wooden bridge .
so the whole is strong.
I'm still learning guys so please bare with me.
so all this piezo/'n' other pick ups stuff etc wiring can be a bit daunting for me.
and the bridge is about where an/pick marked it on the box.
not sure whether to fret it or not but if I did I'd have best of both world as cb/john says.
oh I thought you meant both pick ups.
that pick up is already done.
as for the hole it will be on the end just below the jack.
