I found slide tab to be a bit confusing and maybe a bit overdone to begin with, once you get the flow going it's easier than it looks. Not that I have any, I understand that the Michael Messer DVD's are pretty good.

I reccommend a nice heavy glass slide, I don't like the concave ones but I did like my tapered blue one (now broken ). Worn on the pinky (put your finger in the narrow end first) and long enough to cover all six strings 65mm. Now that I'm used to them, 2 metal finger picks and a plastic thumb pick. Have fun Martin, it is!

Great product! A tip for your R&D team, make it flat pack to save on delivery costs! Funnily enough, I have been working on one particular flatpack solution which not only saves on delivery costs, but also completely eliminates the manufacturing costs! Oh! an online set of plans, great idea.

perhaps it's not such a good idea using a non slip mat building a slide guitar!!

I go for the Taran approach, The non slip mat is great. In the winter I stand on one in my workshop, it keeps the feet very toasty and I never fall over!

I've got a harmonica and occasionally blow it a bit, but can't really play it. Likewise!

Very wierd watching that with your avatar next to it Adrian! Brilliant technicians, Tommy Doyle etc, but they practice they're skill every day like a welder or a carpenter or even a doctor! I see them as professionals doing their work, I hope they enjoy it and don't have to fight it all the time but I'm sure they wish for another job at times. I know I do!!

A lot of hollow body Gretsch guitars use a sound post I think, the top of the range ones use trestle bracing. My G5122DC has one. I think (although not 100% sure) that the Gretsch's have a sort of sound post to support the immense pressure exerted by the Bigsby trem.

Normaly for blind or pop rivets you will drill them out with a 3mm drill and use a 3mm diameter rivet for the repair.
be carefull with the drill, you only need 5-10mm before the rivet is free, if you push too hard you'll end up going through the lining aswell.
Good luck.

I just came across this video and immediately thought of Leo Roberts.
Hope you all like it!
