    You could also put a klangbox pickup on the lid.  I think that would look really cool and you wouldn't have to cut it up.

    A quarter inch thick may be too thick to vibrate enough, but you could certainly give it a go. If it doesn't produce enough sound acoustically, you could always add a piezo and use an amp.

    the sliding cover is roughly 1/4" thick, but the back side is a little more than half of that

    That should work pretty well. It will look cool with the rope handle on the top.

     

    I built a 2 string bass with a box that has a sliding lid. To do what I wanted to do, I had to gently remove one of the end panels, attach the neck and then nail the box end back on. It really didn't take long and resolved the issue of not having a lid that lifts open.

     

    As long as the lid is not too thick, it should sound great.

    My opinion is she spends too much on jeans.

     

    And the box should work great with some imagination.  Good luck.
