Great way to change a guitar to dobro. Slightly wide for my Yamaha acoustic but it doesn't matter still works fine. Lots of fun.

Poor fit on all 6 of my guitars, too wide string spacing cause strings to overhang the edge of the neck. Tried to file down flat and re-file string slots in a different position but material ("Dinky Car" metal) was such poor quality and full of holes like an Aero chocolate bar. Threw it in the bin, don't waste your money.

There are some mixed reviews for this gadget. However, I have found it to be a great help for playing slide. A lot of comments on it being much wider than the guitar’s neck and, yes, it is a bit wider. At the headstock the strings are about the same width as the neck. I haven’t found this to be a problem. It is, after all, sold as a lap steel converter. It works well for slide guitar for me. It raises the strings a lot so don’t expect to fret chords easily, but this stops the slide clashing with the frets. The metal does seem to make the folk size guitar I’m using pretty loud, but I do like the tone. If you just want to use a slide I highly recommend it. Tune to G and away you go!

Great for converting your guitar into a slide type with all the new sounds you can get from it without the cost of buying another guitar. If you've got an electric acoustic then this will widen the range of sounds you can get when the guitar is played through an amplifier, especially if it has computerised 'effects' built in, which a lot do have these days. Highly recommended for extending the range of your guitar. Easily converts back to normal playing mode. All the tunings are available on the net for slide guitars and an electronic tuner is handy for making it easy to convert back and forth between normal and slide guitar.

great product to convert any six string guitar for dobro playing,just need to ensure you use a heavier gauge string to allow for extra strain created by raising strings from the neck,other than that an excellent bit of kit.
