I was given a large selection of cigar boxes- 40 or so... some will be great for guitars or amps, but i have a few that are smaller 5x5x2 and a couple smaller than that. Any ideas?

I've thought of making tiny guitars out of them - some kind of small scale mandolin ukelele thing. Or maybe some kind of percussion. They have a nice ring when you tap on them.
I made the Baby Bolivar out of a small-ish box. It's essentially a solid body with a rail humbucker and a small sound cavity round the pup. Plays great - loads of noise and fun !
23.5" scale, the bridge is about 40mm long to give an idea of size.
I made this build by using 2 small boxes. The main part is 1 box and the sides are 1 box that i cut, there`s side soundports in the middle box. Sound nice acousticly but super plugged in, i used a rod piezo in the bridge.

Here's the other one. It's about 5 x 6 x 1 1/2.
Little boxes have lots of love to give too.

That sounded great... appreciated that a lot. Thanks-
I use them for storing parts - lol.
