Hey, that bamboo slide is good enough that I recommend it if you can come up with one for free. The tone isn't perfect, and it seems to be better on lower strings. It works better than my first attempts at a slide (double shot glass is a noteworthy failure)
Hi I Use and upturned Iphone and Irig record which is free and then shove a video over it. I place it on the music stand upside down, mics facing upwards..
Take your point on positioning I tried everything first... this seems the best to me.
Yeah Andries, the hubcaps have a unique sound all their own. Just finished a Gitt made from a frying pan that gives me "Chills" to hear it. It went out to Slowhound out in Maryland. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jreORiNe2UE
As for nylon strings ... I've never used them???
Thanks Andries!
Actually, I've only sold one guitar this year, but I sold a lot last year. Right now I'm trying to build more to stock up for some big sales I have coming up.
I live in the USA, so I probably won't see you at a show, but it's fun talking to you online!

Wait, what one piece six stringer? I have the salvaged-neck six stringer, but that's the only one I've posted pictures of.

The white one is a real one , a Tele turned into a Esquire and the other 2 I built myself with genuine parts .
Just a play on words and sounds, Andries. The eye you see with and the letter I sound the same. So, a fish without an 'eye' is a Fshhh.
Wow Andries, thank you for the very nice comments, but I'm far from one of the pro's. I just want people too have the best of my capabilities.
Thanks so much Andries! I'm flattered Bro :-)
Sounds like a fun get together.
