Just occurred to me .... on the table next to me is a set of strings I just took off my acoustic . If it's a "slide-only" CBG , mark the positions with a pencil , lay a low E string on the mark(s) (or maybe a piece of coathanger), and hit it with a hammer to slightly groove it (pre-finish). Then superglue cut-off string pieces in the grooves .
Anybody ever tried this ?
Yep, draw them on...mark with a pencil to get it accurate, use a square to get them...well...er....square, and a decent felt tip marker / OHP pen.

Tried it on a scrap piece ... bad idea ..... the hammered/compressed wood in the groove isn't real superglue-friendly . The string pieces would work as "down & dirty" frets, though , if you're sawing grooves with a saw wider than what real frets call for . like a hacksaw blade .

Or, tie a length of the string onto your hack saw and use is as a blade.
