I've been using old fiber board boxes lately. I love em. Most often, they sound good. And they have the old mojo.Some say, "If it ain't wood, it ain't good." I think they are wrong and that they are sort of being snobs.

Kevin, it was truly close, but I went yellow. But I see what you mean about linear. I wish I had two of those boxes. Also, this side seems to look a bit better in the photo than it does for real.
Good wishes on the Phillies box. I find the fiber boxes sound good as is. Hmm. Interesting on doing that on the inside..... I hope to see a photo.
Currently working on a Bayuk Phillies box for Lori's nephew (he's a Phillies fan) and it's the fiber board as well. I think that once I get the pickup wiring straight and seal the box up, it'll sound fine. Debating whether to modpodge the interior to make it a little more resonant.
I agree. I made a guitar for a friend, out of a cigar box he found in his Grandpas garage, (his grandpa had recently passed) it was an old "Phillies" fiber box. I figured it would be a wall hanger but it sounds great and he plays it quite a bit. It also has a piezo pickup in it !!!

I like this side, personally. More linear.
