3 String Fretted Belinda Cigar Box Guitar with Flatpup

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I made this as a backup for my Cohiba CBG that I use a lot…which I made as a back up for the one I made before that.This may never end!!
It doesn't ring out quite as well as the Cohiba unplugged, but does have a nice twangy sound when picked back near the bridge that I like. Still getting to know it….anyway sounds great with the flatpup! Check them out here http://www.original-flatpup.com
I’m using a Roland AC33 amp. The first bit it has some reverb…searching for that Red Dog sound! The second bit only has a touch of reverb, and on the last bit I’m using a Wampler Euphoria pedal.
The scale length is 22 ½” and it has D,G and B strings on (34,26,16 gauge) tuned Ab, Eb, Ab.

thanks all,

RTZ I use all different slides depending on which guitar, on which song I'm playing...most often glass or bone. You can see on the vid the lovely bone and wood one I got from Randy Bretz : -)

 Steve, sounds good...how did it compare to the normal flatpup? Elmar's going to send me one to try : -)

Has a great sound to it Be! The git has plenty of the "twang" that you speak of but has a nice lower tone for a shorter 22 1/2" scale, very rich sounding. And of course nice playing as usual :-)

You could sell a truck load of those. 22 1/2 is lap steel scale and my favorite for straight slide. very nice playing

cool vid too do you prefer Glass or metal slide Be?
