This is my first post but dunno if this is really place to ask giving the nature of the site.I've only been learning to play for the last few months, kinda struggling I've got an old acoustic that I'm learning on, but I purchased a rather beat up jJim deacon jdst62 with a practice amp for cheap. Im limited on tools I've got access to right now as staying with a family member my question is if I removed a few strings, took my frets off and filled the grooves in,some how managed to mount a bolt near the headstock and used a bottle orsmall tobacco tin as a bridge could this be used as a electric diddley bow of sorts.any advice would be much appreciated
What John said... if you want to play strictly slide, you can shim the nut and adjust the action just a bit higher until you get better at using a slide, though Chicken Bone will tell you that it is doable as is...
You could leave it as is and still use a slide. I am thinking of the Allman Brother's for example. And just use the first string to get your didley bow groove on. This would also let you play "regular" guitar if you wanted.
The Jim Deacon is a Strat copy right? Just leave it as it is and don't make it worse and wreck it by pulling out the frets. If you want to play with one string, do what Brushy One String does, he simply uses an acoustic guitar with one string. Super cool dude, great music, cheap guitar, one string.
