Best guitar slides according to redditors

It's an induction heater. Everything is available on Amazon. It's very easy.

(For anyone else interested) Here it is: https://imgur.com/a/3i4UmNQ

Circuit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CNM24YM/

Power Supply Unit (PSU) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DNW1CNB

Glass insulator https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009EQMZE

Beyond this, all you need is 2 small wires (unbraided, thick copper wires will work best), cutters to make them, a small jeweler's screwdriver to screw them down, and a power strip for a poor-man's power switch. If you don't have any of these things, they are also cheap.

First, untwist your induction coil one wrap and spread it out and around the glass insulator slide to match the pic. This spacing gives you a 20-second light with a Ti vapcap sitting at the bottom, which is pretty heavy. If you want it lighter, either leave the coils tighter or just put a cork plug in the bottom of the tube to raise the bottom where the vapcap sits. You can get it down to about 4 seconds with this PSU. Basically, holding it in the center of the coil or keeping the coils tighter will speed it up. 20 seconds is ideal for me. Makes about 2-3 big bong rips per load.

Screw in the ends of the induction coil into the side closest to the circuit coils going in the same direction (see pic). Screw your 2 small wires into the other end of the circuit, and clip the other ends of the wires into the little adapter that comes with the PSU. Don't worry about polarity. The circuit simply won't work the wrong way (blue light won't come on).

Plug in the AC side of the PSU to your power strip (turned off) and the other end into the adapter that came with it, now clipped into your induction heater (this part is covered with tape in the pic, but it's as simple as it sounds).

Hit the power strip switch to operate. Be sure to turn it off before removing the vapcap so you don't forget. Forgetting will result in an overheating unit (yes, the coils get very hot very fast) and early failure. I had one circuit board melt this way. Pretty cheap if it happens but beware. I've used this one for many months now without issue just being mindful. Good luck!

Good morning, frients!!! I just completed my IH build based on A LOT of research/lurking around these parts. Here are a few more pictures of the setup/internals:

**Update/Parts List**

Box/Enclosure

Induction heater board w/coil

Glass tube

(I shoved a cork in there from an old craft beer bottle. I just shaved it down with an x-acto knife until I was happy with the fit/spacing)

Mosfet

Power supply

Red toggle switch

Momentary switch

DC panel-mount jack

Insulated crimp connectors

I used 16-gauge red/black wiring and insulated crimp connectors I had left over from previous projects.

​

Here's the bubbler I was using with the optional glass mouthpiece.

​

Total: ~$65 USD

​

TL;DR This thing is badass and easy to put together. Do it!!!

GOLDEDIT: omg my first gold! Thanks anon!

THE TRIGGER WIRE CAN BE CONNECTED TO Vin + or Vout +

Parts list (canadian, but you can find everything on amazon and/or ebay, or locally):

Heater Board and Coil: https://www.amazon.ca/BAQI-5V-12V-Voltage-Induction-Heating/dp/B0747NBTBX

MOSFET Relay (for operating the momentary switch): https://www.amazon.ca/DROK-Transistor-Driving-Electronic-Controller/dp/B01J78FX9S (if you want to do this project with NO SOLDERING you could get this higher wattage MOSFET relay)

Power Supply (or if you have one from an xbox 360 it'll work) This one also includes the female jack: https://www.amazon.ca/Signcomplex-Supply-Transformer-Switching-Adapter/dp/B075R3RW6J

Glass tube: https://www.amazon.ca/Dunlop-202-Dun-Bottleneck-Slide-Reg/dp/B0009EQMZE

Main power switch: https://www.amazon.ca/Pilot-PLSW26-Safety-Racing-Toggle/dp/B000GTMUUI

Momentary Switch to activate the coil ONLY while pressed: https://www.amazon.ca/Ulincos-U16A1-Black-Button-Switch/dp/B015X34IP6

You'll also need some 18ga stranded wire, an enclosure, and some soldering skills/equipment.

All rings are defective IMO.

Wait, found a good one: http://www.amazon.com/Will-Stealth-Slide-Ring-Guitar/dp/B002497ZJ4

This is my parts list.... Simple and it works

The enclosure I used: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TS6RY85/ref=cmswrcpapaiAyhxDbV7EHBCN

The 5A power supply (5A and you don't have to use a mosfet): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01461MOGQ/ref=cmswrcpapaiGzhxDbQWPT5QR

I used a glass slide tube for inside of the coil. You will have to rewrap the coil on the IH to fit around the slide, not hard at all: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FWYAWQ/ref=cmswrcpapaiMAhxDbTK5P2YY

The actual IH: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GDVVANA/ref=cmswrcpapailChxDb0DGE3TM

The 5v switch w/ wiring harness (you don't need any extra wires this way): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075QBJVTS/ref=cmswrcpapaifDhxDb7HTYE19

A Unibit would be a good thing to have to get the 3 holes drilled in the box. A hotglue gun and a screwdriver and your set....

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049B3YXQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 what i used

it's called a Slide. you can buy it

I don't believe you have gifted me. Been playing a ton of guitar lately and this would be super nice :)


Sweet contest :D

Heater

Switchboard

Glass slide


Missing out of this is just some wire and a SPST switch(single pole single throw, just on and off) momentary switch (press when you heat the cap) and optional led lights. I ordered the switch and wire from analogboxmods for decently priced.

I'll edit this comment when I find the link to the guys post that really helped me out with all the wiring.

Well worked well for me for my first go. Best vapor I’ve gotten so far from the IH. Didn’t seem to get the glass overly hot. Dunlop 212 Tempered Glass Slide, Heavy Wall Thickness, Small Short https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002GWNNE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WueLBb2MNA17C

Lap Steels are fairly simple, so you don't really have to spend that much to get a good one. But there are some accessories you will need.

For a first lap steel the SX Lap Steel is very well made and includes a stand and case. Its only $150.

You will also need a good tone bare. Dunlop chromed brass For $20.

Also I would get him a volume pedal Ernie Ball Volume pedal For $65.

Other little nice gifts, would be a clip on snark tuner, a couple of instrument cables, song book, and some extra strings.

Ignore what the other person said about fret wear and action height. You are not pushing the strings down to the frets, you are sliding on the string with a tone bar or a guitar slide. Higher is better in this case.

Does he have an amp? Any other effects pedals?

edit: Also a capo like this will be helpful if he is just playing along with random songs.

It's actually pretty simple. At it's most basic, try this comment from /u/improvaper

Make an induction heater! It's cheap and easy. I've been blasting my instructions everywhere around here lately. If you're interested, let me know and I'll blast them again here. :)

It's definitely worth the (extremely little) effort.

Edit: blasting:

I made mine for about $30 with parts available on Amazon:

It could be patented but not out on the market yet. A quick Google search didn't help too much, but I found something sorta similar.
