<p>Sounds like you have all the good bits handled. A slider is the way to go for a three-stringer. Easy to learn and can make great music.</p>

<p>cheers Tom I have a double coil humbucker in transit with 500K pots and 0.022uF capacitor. a hardtail bridge has also landed.<br/>It's going to be fretless since my left hand is mashed on the first two fingers (power tool argumemnts I lost) and I have a soft spot for slide guitar ala Justin Johnson (if only I was 1/10th as good).</p>

<p>If you are planning a solid body and the pine is well aged (dried), it should have good tonal quality (depending on the pickup used and the bridge type.</p>
<p>A magnetic pickup mounted at a location around 15% of scale and a simple tone control circuit with a 500K pot and 0.047 uF cap should give you the control over tone to cover a range of sounds.</p>
<p>A hard-tail bridge appears to give a lot of sustain when mounted on a solid body.</p>

<p>The wood itself shouldn't present any problems as a great variety of woods have been used for the solid body of a guitar (including pine or even solid core doors).</p>
<p>Get you pickup and electronics right and a bridge that is firmly attached to the wood and you should have a nice sounding guitar.</p>
