I'm not even sure what tuning I'm going to put this one in yet. I might try something silly, or I might keep it pretty standard so I can have a little Tele twang... Not sure yet though. I've got a guitar in drop D, one in AADGBE, the baritone in B standard. ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS????

I say set it up in an open tuning and use it for slide guitar

HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE. I'M GOING TO LOOK INTO IT

I fucking love this thing already though. It SMELLS like work and sweat and its actuall a really heavy solid body. It'd compare it to the weight of a Jaguar (I suppose because of the lack of routing associated with it. And the raw wood makes it feel like a baseball bat.

I was offered piezo saddles and I think every part of me is saying that I should do it

Why not? Go big or go home :thumb:

I gotta see if it will break the bank. I guess I could always unload a pedal for the saddles though. AMBIENT NOISES

I'm not sure if it will make it active or not though... Hmmm. Maybe I could just put a disc piezo under the bridge and have it selectable via a switch so I can loop noises from the guitar instead of having an active system in it since there isn't much room

open c, a la nick drake, would be a cool tuning to use. i'm writing some super heavy stuff in that tuning now.

or just half a step down in standard.

Yeah I'll have to definitely check out open C

Now the eternal question- glass slide or metal slide?

Huge brass slide or die.
Also makes a good bass + flatwounds slide.

Got the pickguard in the mail today from the same guy who built the body. Drilled and sized the holes for the PG as well as the control plate. At this point I'm really just waiting for the last package that has the 3 way switch, copper tape, string tree, and wire. I need to stop by lowes and get another screw for the DiMarzio as well.
