good to know, I've never seen it done and was starting to get worried the build was going to be a waste of time.

Obviously it won't work with a mag pickup ,  i used a rod piezo  and it worked great . used a tin body also . but works on wood too.

Yep me too, I never considered it until my son tried it, I think on his second build, and it worked fine.

A comment I might make is that as nylon strings are softer than steel I would go for a hard tension set, a higher action and /or a light slide to save slide to fret contact. I think that's three comments......never mind.
