3-string slide

simple slide build. mahogany neck with walnut fretboard. I set the string action @ 4mm to top of all strings and kept the square profile on the neck with a 1/2" round over on back. For me this seems to help keep the slide straight and square. A humbucker in the neck position with a .047uf tone cap and volume control. The plastic looking thing on the corner is a Kid Kusion corner guard I picked up at Walmart. This box has the sharpest corners of any I have built and 6.5" wide it was digging into my forearm, so this was a simple fix that actually works pretty well.

  • Thanks Bob ;-)

  • Smart build and nice decorative box!  I like your chafe guard on the corner.  That will stop you bleeding all over that nice box.

  • Hunh.   Great idea on the mustard bottle for glue.  I need to remember that, save a bottle and when the snow is not so high around my shed, put some glue in the mustard bottle.

  • Thanks Uncle J ............. it dose indeed have markers on top. The mustard bottle is the best glue bottle you can find, just don't put it on your hotdog lol ;-)
  • Great looking slider, Rooster.  Love the top fret markers.  I hope you have side markers too.  Good to see mustard on the work table.   Now, I want a hot dog.
