@LiLVeSt23: You can choose any gauge and tuning you like. "G" is typically the go to, but, then again, so is fencing wire in some areas of the world. :)

[@fatheadluv]

@LiLVeSt23 You can make it any way you want it. That's the beauty of the instrument!

@MrNikcccc You "bend" a note by moving the slide slightly up or down. In other words, there is no bending in the traditional sense of the word. You can, however, press down on the string and get (kind of) the same effect. Hope that helps!
