..... i could have had an entire COLLECTION of different acoustic slide guitars...!!!!...
Here`s my experimental d-bow so far. A piezo in the nut and one in the bridge.

Sorry I thought the whole discussion was about using the nut for 2 diff. types of stringed instruments. Like the bone nut I just made. Oh well I`m going to continue with this experimental d-bow, really interested in how the nut will sound with the piezo buried in it and also how it can be used for either a slide or fingering the fretboard on the lower slot. Also want to try a fiddle bow on it when it`s in the lower slot. I`m making one of my bone piezo bridges for this d-bow also. Now I also want to add a toggle switch so I can go from; nut- nut and bridge- bridge, plus a volume control would also be nice add-on. I plan on putting all the parts on a natural white birch tree limb. Will keep you all posted on it`s progress.

there really is no drama just talk amongst enthusiast's. But, I.E. to replace a .045 gauge with a .025 there is enough of a difference in the size of the slot to compensate the sound of the new string. Or going to larger gauge, the same thing.

I'm not sure I understand the problem here, I've changed string guage quite a few times on my store bought guitars with no dramas. What are the dramas people experience when doing this with CBGs, and why would they not behave the same as any other guitar nut?
