@ 407bug, yes the Flatpups are homemade, check out the link above.

@ L.J. "klangbox" = me. I'll build a slider "Railpup" in the next days and post a pic. It will basically be the same design as the common Flatpup. The difference will be that there won't be a wooden frame but 2 brackets to fit the transverse sliding bars.

Nice playing, Mr Fillmore, nice video, Mr Elmar, nice guitar toooooooo. Ah seen one like it before. Uhuru was playing  it in Star Trek, before that old rascal Kirk came up and kissed her, to prove a point. Don't go to warp drive, ma man, btw; hell on the old D'Addarios.    :      As we marched down,  as we marched down,as we marched down to D'Addario, our capatain fell in love, with a lady like a dove,and the name that she had was pretty Peggy-o  (Bob, are you still hear?! Go crash somewhere else!)

Love the pickup. Great playing but that pickup sounds great. Im gonna need one or two of those. Is the slider your idea and design? Or does the Klangbox sell the slider option?

Great sound and playing Not to mention the build;-)

Comment by SlowHound on June 8, 2012 at 2:23am

Whoa...mighty fine. The build is a masterpiece and Mr Fillmore just brings it to life. Hope to hear and see much more from both of you.
