Re-done from one I didn't like. Road worthy w. nice portable stick-on piezo, nice tone acoustic or electric, 3 string slide only.

Very cool Glenn! Tuners at the tail end do improve the balance. I like them on my Chugger except when my long sleeve shirt hangs up on the string ends.

Uncle John, You have to be slightly careful to not touch tuners but not much. They added weight, light box so it sits great like that, w. string or strap, perfect balance. -Glenn
