I always enjoy the encouraging words Brian, Alan, and Kale! When it comes to the Slingers, expect the unexpected.
Another song requested by another Slinger. This was a challenging song for me to learn and it kept being picked. I finally changed the key for this latest version and it all came together.
I’m looking forward to see if the improved guitar tone will follow the fluorocarbon fishing line strings to my next build.

I can honestly say I never thought I'd hear this song played on a 2-string saw blade. :-D

Great Neil Young Song Slingers, and the more I hear that Saw Blade Chugger, the more I like it :-)

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
