These (two of them) boxes are in excellent condition and are sized such that they will easily support a six string guitar neck at a standard 25.5 inch scale with plenty of real estate for control knobs, etc.

 

I'm not interested in trying to make any money off of these.  Just pay me for shipping and handling and they're yours.

 

There's nothing wrong with them; I just need to make a little room.  I bought them on a whim just to see if I'd get any ideas but I haven't been particularly inspired by them.  Mostly because of the big plastic window on the side, which I find to be limiting.  I guess you could put a strip of pretty wood over the hole and mount some knobs to it for a lefty but I only make lefties on request.

 

Anyway, if you're interested shoot me a message and I'll see about getting them out your way.

    I use Acid boxes a lot as 1 stringers.BUT, the other day I got it in my head that I could rip a box in half and add a bottom on each and end up with TWO thinner acid boxes,perfect for 2 1 stringers.
    I ripped the box down today and cut 2 pieces to replace the cut out on each.Later tonite time permitting I'll glue em up and spend about 10 minutes slapping some finish on em.
    I dont know why I didnt think of it much earlier, because I rip somewhat thicker boxes down all the time to get more box per buck.
    When I rip boxes like that I always feel like I got a 2 fer.In this case I paid about $3 for the box, so I got 2 DB's for a buck and a half a piece. Not bad,,,,,,

    I have two of these boxes myself, and I was thinking about doing something similar to your idea, but it was more of a diorama kind of thing, being able to see stuff through the window. Your idea sounds awesome!

    sounds cool. I was thinking on making it look like a keyhole and paint a woman bathing on inside. But i'll have to see and make sure there will be no vibrations on the glass, and even if the artwork has enough room.

    Cool let me contact you tomorrow.
  • Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) January 28, 2010 at 7:20pm
    Just a guess but I'm thinking something like $5. If it ended up that I charged you too much I'd send back the difference.

    Splitting them up is no problem.
