$100? I'd raise the action up a little bit and play slide with that bad boy.
@frankp @countZZero I use Pearse solid brass bridge pins. They’re a little bit larger than what is on their site. It’s a noticeable, but not amazing difference (a little more attack & volume on both guitars with them, and a little more top end to one that benefited from more top end).
@countZZero @frankp staple a flattened pie tin to the top and go dobro 🤣
@countZZero @CanisPundit
I'm going to replace the bridge pins (they are atrocious enough that they really do need to go) and of course, restring it, and then I'll do a little audio sample, which I'll post here.
Seriously, though this thing IS playable; I'm quite surprised!
