Who can recommend a first custom box call. I mostly use a mouth call but like to start out with a box. I have a dozen or so boxes all store bought.

Darrin Dawkins, Paul's calls, Twisting creek to name a few.

Lots of good ones out there.  How fast do you want it?  Some builders like Dawkins have multiple year wait times.

Honestly the classifieds are a great place to start you can often get unused calls for excellent deals  right here quickly.

It can be complicated.  You need to play it or at least listen to a sound file.

Josh Farley and Jason Dials are reasonably price and both of them are making some absolute killer boxes now.

Dawkins, Lapp, Watkins, Basehore, etc. are making killers as well more expensive and longer waits but there great call makers.

A great first box is SS,,get a nice dbl checkered with your name personalized on it
However
If you want to just go for the top shelf tequila,,,it doesn't get any better then a Marlin Watkins fiddle box
Look on this site,,everybody wants to see them,hear them, desperately trade for one. At around $200
That's less then a mid level casting rod and reel combo or a very used shotgun and the watkins will hold its value,,tell Marlin it's your first and he will set you up right.

A great anytime box is an SSCustom! They run easy and kill birds. Al and Josh can set you up an excellent hand checked or a field grade.
