Original Sawzall Box Guitar RBS002. Amp gain 7, master volume 2. Shaking the second floor.I was thirsty. Should have had something to drink while playing this.

Ron, I'd never heard of an Ebow. That would save me some hammering, but if I turn the amp up to 4 or 5 then I get enough activation of the strings just from the speaker tones resonating in the box. The 2nd lowest string, D is particularly active and it must be very close to the natural resonant frequency of the box. The low G string will also feedback quite quickly between C and D.
I had some fun this morning using the switch in conjunction with the tapping. Switching between neck and bridge when playing bass and treble strings, respectively, provided some nice variation. I could probably do with swapping out the b and d strings for a heavier gauge for this type playing. I'm using Super Slinky strings so 32-9.
Thanks Jim! I know what to do if I get another Bad Finger on my right hand! These Les Paul style humbuckers I got are great. Master volume was at 2 and my wife sent me a text from upstairs that just said "ENOUGH!" hahahahaha!

Chilling mate. Nice ;-)
I was trying to channel a swampy Tommy Thayer. Not sure if I got close, but I was happy with the outcome.

Sounds great Eric. The way I use a Sawzall I might have to learn how to play one handed.
Cool, I really like the sound of your Box and the way you sustain the notes your are playing. Way to go man!
