Nilllson Schmilson baby,Put de lime in da coconut. Great stuff. I just got my first CBG and I am waiting for it to arrive. I also just joined your website. I hope to build my first over the winter. Keep up the good work.
Really Really cool Shane. I love it. Any good sources for bottle slides i.e. aspirin bottles or others that you might reccomend? I have exceptionally fat fingers. I am on the prowl for my cigar box now.
Just go to Lowe's and buy a 3/4" socket. Jam the tip of your finger into the square hole for the socket wrench and go! I would have used my socket for these videos, but I lost it. Gotta go to Lowe's tonight...
I use a 1 1/2" long, 7/8" ID copper coupler section (couples two pieces of 7/8" OD copper pipe together). Not as clean sounding as a glass or stainless slide but works and is less than $1 if I recall.
Works really well and will fit any fat fingers and you can cut it down shorter if you want.
Is this guitar fretless? I can't tell.

Holy balls! Nice lesson! Just one thing.. I'm not a smoker, and I have no idea where on earth to get cigar boxes. :P Is ebay as good a place as any?

I picked up a few cigar boxes for 50 cents each at the pipe and cigar store at the local mall. Look up "cigars" in your local yellow pages
I wouldn't buy one over the web unless I had to. I'd rather look them over and be sure they aren't cracked.

Me an' you both...I lost my socket. That's why I used this hand-blown glass slide.
