Thanks for checking it out guys. I have it tuned to an "A" chord. A,E,A. I used Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings. The gauges on the guitar are 42, 32, 24. I used the heaviest of the strings in the set to try and give it a better bass sound and less of the trebly sound these usually have. It's still trebly but the pod helps that. The pickup is a Radio Shack Piezo Transducer part # 273-073A crazy glued to the lid and wired straight to the plug. I didn't put holes in my cigar box either. I figured this might give it more bass since my cigar box is on the small side and if I wanted I could add them later.

FingerSpasm I'm glad you liked the playing but I was just bangin on the thing trying to put notes together that sounded like they belonged because I have no clue how to play slide. I never played a fretless guitar either so that takes some getting use to.
