box too thin?

Posted by Jonathan on March 18, 2010 at 10:41am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

I got a couple boxes that are only about 1.68 inches deep, otherwise good sized. can i still use these for acoustic or do i need to make electrics out of them cuz their too thin?

i just finished one that was that thin and i made it elec/acoustic and it sounds great. i didnt reinforce much to keep vibrations up. seemed to be ok.

Try them acoustic, you can always add a piezo later if you don't like the sound. I made an Arturo Fuente that was about that thin and it sounded ok.
