Second Step -

Hey All,

 

Took my first step by joining the Nation.

 

 Been reading and looking and learning and felt ready for the second step.

 

I went online and found locally, a couple of cigar boxes to use. They are a pair of MAXX's and on the smaller size, so I sanded one side down to the grain and glued them and clamped them up. They are now sitting out in the shop as I plan my next move.

I guess when I am ready to hollow them out some for the neck I will have dual sound chambers. Is that like a homemade reverb system then ? ? ? :) Been thinking I might go the license plate route for a top. Digging the Blues sound, and with the fact I have a handle on a plate that was stamped out in the old days at a state prison farm would seem to all kind of fit in place. Will see how it goes.

 

Thanks everyone for all the excellent info out there on the "Nation". It is going to allow me to make one of those GBG's

 

Hmmmm maybe I will get out there and take a few pics for my album to be some day :)

  • Thanks guys, Will see where the ole brain leads me on this.
  • I went to sleep last night thinking of those darn boxes :) I think I am getting "HOOKED "
  • Ooh, have been digging the art on those Maxx boxes when I see them on my scrounging missions, but have been passing them up due to size. Never occurred to me to do that. Nice!
    Looks like you are gathering some nice Mojo-mentum, look foward to seeing your progress!
