The main reason I don't own one personally is that I'm cheap as Scrooge! And as for bottlenecks, I do kinda like to cut my own and have a huge pile of nice wine bottles in the basement waiting to be cut. The sweet ladies in the hospital cafeteria save me the bottles from the bigwigs' meetings. I brought four more home tonight.

I dunno about Diamond - I've no real idea what I NEED in a slide (got a good idea what I WANT though :) ), so I emailed and asked for some advice. Doesn't seem like anyone cares enough to bother with a reply, let alone advice. :(]]> Slide and Alternate tunings greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/buying-a-slide/#post-124549 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/buying-a-slide/#post-124516 Mon, 12 Sep 2005 19:15:49 +0000 Slide and Alternate tunings Ricochet https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/buying-a-slide/#post-124516 https://guitarnoise.forum/slide-and-alternate-tunings/buying-a-slide/#post-124487 Mon, 12 Sep 2005 17:10:13 +0000
From reading it looks like I might need two slides. I'll be trying to use it on my Montana which is a dreadnought style solid top acoustic. The actions not real high, the strings are lights, not sure what gauge.

I'll also be trying to play with it on my Ovation. The actions a little higher but I think I have the same strings on this as my Montana.

Thanks for all the suggestions and help.

My own personal preference is a 'Redhouse' glass bottleneck for glass-tone's, and a Craftsman 9/16 socket when i wanna get 'graunch' :wink: !
