This is a resurrection from 2010, I was just searching topics on lap slide. What I've done is slap a nut extender and bone saddle on an old Epiphone Hummingbird Pro, open D tuning. I play old American folk and country blues and it seems to work fine. I use a Dunlop 926 Lap Dawg Tonebar, Chromed Brass. Lots of fun for a second guitar. I also use Medium 80/20 Bronze Strings. Maybe someone might be interested in converting one of their extra acoustic guitars not getting much use.
