Is this going to be an acoustic instrument?

Good question OldNick.... I forgot to mention... No it will be an electric.

I've built a few 6 strings,   electric, electric/acoustic, and classical.

12 x 8 is a size I like, but I've built a 14x8.5 box in one case, and used a 10 x 7.5 cigar box for the classical.

Check out my photo albums if you want to get a better perspective.

24 1/2" (what i usually use) scale length you'll need a box atleast 12" long,

you can just make a longer neck for shorter boxes.

I use the Ditka throwback boxes and a Cohiba Gigante that are 15"+.But also made a short scale out of a mini strat w/ an MC box thats 11".The key is you want to hide or place your neck plate in its proper spot.

Theres ones on ebay that look like someone took a cheap strat copy to a table saw,then stuck it in a box.
