Hmm.   I'd like to try that kind of set up on a 3 string.

Jeffery, it sounds good man, but what pick is saying makes total sense.  Still a very cool build/playing.

yup  , as  i   also  said before,   .. its a great  concept  ..  but   the    series  of  frets     is  pointless,   as they  would  only  match up  on   one   correct  spot  on  the  scale  .     a single    fret  with  a space  to  grab/slide  would  make  more sense   , and be  more  practical  like  a regular single  contact  slide . 

also,   as   i  mentioned before,   ..   maybe  a set of stationary  frets  on  the  end  where you    most  blues   chords are  played    ..  then  the  slider  from  there   up  .

don't get  me  wrong ,  ..  i   think  its a great    concept    , and  wonderful  to see  new  ideas   like this .

  this  one    just  seems  to  need  a  practicality  polish  to   be  a  hit  .

great  job  .. best of  luck. :-D

I`ve seen this a few times now and I think it`s a great idea but to be able to play it well I reckon you`re going to need to be a pretty decent guitarist in the first place.

You`re going to need to have a great ear to be able to find the sweet spot to stop the slide.There`s no obvious guide to follow, unlike a regular guitar that has fret markings to assist.

A beginner would be completely lost I`m sure so imho it will only be useful to an accomplished guitarist and, unfortuately, if you are accomplished why would you use this method?

A great idea, a great piece of modelling to get it to work but I`m not convinced it would be useable or marketable.
