I'm sorry, don't understand.... why replace the nut when you can just build another CBG? One over each and every string configuration (I do this to get open G and open D instruments on the same scale length).... I'm mean it seem logical answer to a build addicted CBGer...

Colin, funny you should say that. I`ve been workin on that same idea for awhile now. I bought on of those ribbon piezo elements a while back the kind with the 1/8" plug on the end. I also got an input jack that the 1/8" plug fits into. My idea is to bury the piezo elememt in one of my bone slides and put a 3/8" brass rod epoxied on top of the element. Then make a wrist band from velcro with the input jack on it. Now this should work great as long as you have the slide against the strings, but for open playing I will have to also put on one of my bone piezo bridges. I`ll let you know how it works out!
colin mcgrath said:Wow randy I so want to hear the outcome, sounds rad. While on the subject of electrifying sound, I had an idea a while ago on te possibility of putting a piezo inside a glass/whatever slide.? Whaddya think? Would there be enough vibration coming though the slide to get some good grundge sounds out of? Might be better on a d-bow.
I'm not sure I understand the problem here, I've changed string guage quite a few times on my store bought guitars with no dramas. What are the dramas people experience when doing this with CBGs, and why would they not behave the same as any other guitar nut?
agreed. no drama, just talk.
some things get a little over-scrutinized or talked-out, but really, it's all mental cheesecake until someone actually tries it and posts their results.
we all get our chance here to explore ideas and thoughts before we act them out, that's the beauty of this place.
i'd personally like to start a thread about building CBGs for morbidly obese handicapped left handed midgets with claw-hand deformity.
and maybe i'll do just that. colin, i'll mke you moderator. LOL
you guys rock!
@colin
grumpy? no, that would be dwarves. i don't work with them. besides, they clearly already have this music thing figured out.
anyone remember doc's duck-headed bass lute? now THAT'S funky!
