Just wanted to say a Merry Christmas Thank You for the two MBW slides with chamfers. My daughter brought them back with her when she came back home from boarding school for Christmas break. I finally got a chance to test them out today, and they slide sooooo smooth! The chamfer cut outs work great.
Thanks, mdf easy to work with but very dusty, I always liked the look and sound of the old danelectros that's what I was going for. I probably could have chambered out a little more is still a little on the heavy side.
Randy - call me a "lurker" -- this way I sort of keep up on stuff so I can get good things for my husband. He's the "picker" ... I'm the "grinner"??? But given that my Dad (at 90) is a woodcarver - I have a lot of appreciation for your work (and all these hand-made instruments are just incredible).

If I use a metal tail piece I normally just clamp the earth wire between the box and the tail in a loop around one of the retaining screws
Awesome Randy! I'll be playing with it as soon as it arrives, Thanks, I'll be talkin' to ya!

Hey Randy, how much do you get for a standard slide & one with a custom logo? My Smokin' Rooster would look pretty cool on one of them bones. BLC
