I never knew these existed. I don’t expect I’ll ever use one but good to know about I guess.
I was reading about a guy wanting to use a resonator ukulele as a slide lap steel style. The things people think up.

Grover Guitar Extension "Perfect" Nut
Slotted metal string nut slips over existing nut on guitar. Raises strings high for slide playing. The nut extender is 1 7/8" wide with a string spacing of 1 3/4" from center to center on the outside string slots. Anchors around the nut well and is more "U" shaped and slightly heavier than the EN03.

I used to watch the Thunderbirds all the time as a little tacker. Then go to school in K, 1,2,3 and talk to all my mates about the latest ep.
My favourite was Thunderbird 2.

You did well getting a whole lb out it! But I wouldn't want to play a whole set with an 11 pounder
For now, this one will be tuned to C#, F#, B, E to play along with a bunch of Black Sabbath songs, and mostly played sitting. The other one, a white one, that is exactly 11lbs, was used frequently for practice and live shows, but only for half of a 50 minute set. Heavy yes, but otherwise it’s a great player and fantastic sounding one. The one in the picture will have 120, 95, 75, 55, and it will need a fret job. And, the neck (1979) is about as chunky as a late ‘60’s telecaster neck. It’s not likely to see any live action or even to leave the house…

That is my trajectory. Piano to guitar to bass guitar to upright bass. Add drums to complete the return to pain in the neck logistics.
I like the colour, 33.25" scale and that pickup position...Gah! My eyes!

I like those except for that control plate. It looks like an afterthought, or maybe they didn't have enough pickguard material?
I'd just get another guitar and set it up for slide.I never knew these existed. I don’t expect I’ll ever use one but good to know about I guess.

Thanks, that's shaped with 100 grit, then smoothed up to 800 and polished with brasso. It took 1 hour+. Tbird pickguards are much faster!

I love mine! That one looks good, but I do prefer the earlier location of the Mudbucker.
