I've been playing slide for a while now, and have experimented with virtually every body-style under the sun. It's amazing how a small shaft of glass can re-define the tonal characteristics of a guitar. I’ve often advised that old, “beater” flattops become "slide-instruments" rather than be submitted to expensive repairs (for slide, intonation is more or less inconsequential, and high-action is helpful). Taking all that into account, the possibility of an instrument that is completely IDEAL for slide, while at the same time remaining a tremendous “fretting” instrument as well seems too good to be true, right? WRONG. This guitar exists and I’ve played it. It’s a big, clear, round-sounding box and I love it. Tuned up to open “E”, this guitar is a slide machine…drop it down to standard and you’re back in familiar territory. Whether you’re working on your best Blind Willie Johnson impersonation or holding down the rhythm end for your fiddle player, this guitar will never disappoint, will never let you down, will never falter. It may be a retro design, but it ought to be an essential tool in every contemporary guitarist’s arsenal. The music world needs the tonal possibilities offered by his guitar.
