Latest old guitar turned slide.

Posted by Dave Lynas on April 15, 2014 at 9:08pm
I got this project guitar without the fretboard, some bracing. Made the grill for the soundhole. Made a bridge, added tailpiece off a Norma. Made a dog bone nut. Made the scratch plate out of rosewood. Now a 5 string. One tuner worm gear too worn to hold the gear. New black button and shaft Chinese tuners coming.

    Thanks Blind Lemon, I'm starting to rehab an Oahu lap slide square neck today. It's very old and full of cracks and needed bracework. It's coming around. A snowstorm is keeping me from my porch workshop. I had my sander out for a while, but the blowing snow stopped me. .... :^( ,,,,,

    Real nice Dave! I'm working on a Harmony 1270, hope to have strings later this week.

    I forgot to mention that due to only 5 strings for now, i discovered a new open tuning that sounds great. It's based on C6th but using notes that are easy on the strings and the tuners. I got a standard set of 10 gauge acoustic strings. The tuning is CEGce. Like C6th in the low CEG and two of the top string (without the A). It plays "Mocking Bird Hill" automatically using open, 5th and 7th. This guitar sounds great with 5 strings.
