Possibilities

This box came from Santa with an assortment of cheeses and port. Having enjoyed the contents I thought that this box had musical possibilities. I can fit a neck along where I have shown in red, and I have some nice 1/8" spruce for a soundboard to fill in where the opening is. The box is about 9" square and 2.6" deep.What do you reckon - a diddley or full 3 stringer?

  • Thanks for all the suggestions, fellas. I like the idea of an amp. I hadn't thoight of that.

    Meanwhile I'll just crank up the volume on Jerry Lee's Wine Spo-deo-dee! Cheers!

  •  After reading all the cool "eye deer"s, I'm just glad it isn't mine! I have enough decisions to make as it is. (rimshot)

  • Yup, that too, Pick.  

  • would make a great amp . already has wire channels cut out , and  just needs a cloth  / mesh covering  or grill..... Room for 2 speakers too. 

  • Seems like a good eye deer, AGP,  

  • Just to be different, I'd go in between, and make it a 2 String Chugger, they can be a lot of fun!

    ;-) 

  • I agree with Uncle John, any bottle of port in a storm. That box looks like many possibilities. Good luck.
  •  That's really neat. I've been concentrating on bettering my diddley playing...(Why does that sound dirty?) and I am low on diddley-bows, so...

     But, it's your Stradivarius. Make her sing! AHAHHAHAHAH! (Sorry, couldn't resist)

  • Either one, Jock.  Any port in  a storm.   Put a thin top on it.  In my case, I really like diddleys, but then seem to seldom play them.   A 3 would get more use from me.   Do you know the song "Wine Spodeeodee'?
