Thanks for the comment on the jam video, Roger.  :)

i fretted it that way cos i only had a bit of fret wire and was gonna have a high action to play slide on ,but when i put acostic strings on it it sounded completely different and was bwtter with a medium action . the strings on the video are bajo guitar strings now it has medium acoustic strings on it ,the guitar spaced frets 123,5,7,12 are for a 22.5 scale length,just been antiqueing that baby now used gravy browning and it looks oooooollllllllddddddd

Roger, just saw your message about my tailpiece.  Do you still need one?  I'll look at what I have in them and figure a price, cheap I'm sure.

Thanks for the kind words Roger  :)

Of course I'll help if you need it. I'm thousands of miles away in the great city of London, but I'm sure it can be done.

1st thank you very much, that does mean alot. The cigarbox is a Jamaican rounds box. I wish I could find more, but so far thats the only one I`ve found.

Thanks again Roger.

 

I only really play for fun, so I don't think I'll be making a CD. However, when you get your deuce, I'll show you how to play them yourself - that'll be way better. Take care mate.

Sorry Roger , I missed your question about the scale. It's 24.5 inches from nut to saddle (I copied that from my other guitars.) The only real mistake I made was using a fret calculator to mark where the frets should be - I think next time I'll fit the strings and then find where the notes should be using a tuner because one or two of the frets are not quite in the right place.

Thanks again Roger. I just use D and A (the A string being a G tuned up a tone.) It's really simple to play and you can play just about anything with a slide. I've been playing guitar for a few years but I just can't stop playing this one.
