Hi Slide Guitar Fans. Here are some pictures from another of our sliders:
Juan A. Zuoza, Esquel, Patagonia Argentina.

It's an absolutely beautiful instrument, and
so Unique!

I made the whole building process, including several walks in the forest to look for the wood. The body is made of "Llao-Llao" nods (four in a straight line) which is almost impossible to be found. No tree was hurt to get the wood. Even the volume and tone knobs are made of little llao llao. Llao-Llao is the Mapuche name of the nods of a tree named "cohihue", well known here in Patagonia.
