Decisions decisions!!

I doubled up a couple Saint Luis Rey boxes so I could fit some lawnmower jewelry and this Epiphone pickup. The tops of the boxes are hardboard and the bottoms are thin plywood. I originally planned to use the tops as the sound board, but was afraid the hardboard would be difficult to mount the Briggs debris screen securely. So I laminated some 1/8" plywood to the inside. Problem is, the tops resonated ok, at best, before adding the plywood and now they thump like a rock in the ground. The bottoms however, sound great. Plugged in, I think the guitar won't care which is the soundboard and which isn't. Unplugged, it'll like the bottom best. Hmmmm. I might put a shine on the bottom with some oil and pretty it up enough to be the soundboard. I may also hunt down a big Briggs and Stratton sticker to carry on the theme. Ideas?

    Be cool to have a lawn mower muffler tip sticking out somewhere!

    And maybe a pull cord handle, just to keep em guessing!

    Jerry, I think I'm going with the bottom. I'm trying a sort of a sunburst kind of paint/stain job. Going to post a picture in a minute.
